    build: correct cppcheck-misra make rule
    
    Having cppcheck-misra.json depend on cppcheck-misra.txt does not
    properly address the multiple targets problem. If cppcheck-misra.json
    is deleted from the build tree but cppcheck-misra.txt is still there,
    nothing will re-generate cppcheck-misra.json.
    
    With GNU make 4.3 or newer we could use the &: grouped target separator,
    but since we support older make as well we need to use some other
    mechanism. Convert the rule to a pattern one (with "cppcheck" kind of
    arbitrarily chosen as the stem), thus making known to make that both
    files are created by a single command invocation. Since, as a result,
    the JSON file is now "intermediate" from make's perspective, prevent it
    being deleted again by making it a prereq of .PRECIOUS.
