[PATCH v2 1/4] build: add make macro for making file from file.in

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Add a new make macro for creating <file> from <file>.in at build
time. To be used like this:

$(foreach file,$(IN_FILES),$(eval $(call apply-build-vars,$(file))))

This can be used instead of the current approach to perform the similar
step for file.in during ./configure.

This will avoid having to run ./configure just because of modifying a
file depending on a variable set by configure.

Prepare to have multiple files as source for the replacement patterns.

V2:
- don't use pattern rule, but create explicit dependency in macro,
  don't require to rename source files (Jan Beulich, Andrew Cooper)
