[PATCH] Makefile: quiet shell commands when "make --silent"

[Pete Wyckoff <pw@xxxxxxxx>]

Option "--silent", "--quiet" or "-s" to make prevents
echoing of commands as they are executed.  However, there
are some explicit "echo" commands in the Makefile and in
the two GIT-VERSION-GEN scripts that always echo.

Quiet the explicit "echo"s in Makefile when MAKEFLAG "s"
is set.  Pass this information into both GIT-VERSION-GEN
helpers so that they can run silently too.

Before:

    $ echo >>git.c
    $ make -s
    GIT_VERSION = 1.7.12.378.gaeb1945.dirty
	* new script parameters
    GITGUI_VERSION = 0.16.GITGUI-dirty
    $

After:

    $ echo >>git.c
    $ make -s
    $

Make should be silent when given "--silent".

This may help tools that post-process make output, like the
"check-docs" command.  Peff noticed in 5fafce0 (check-docs: get
documented command list from Makefile, 2012-08-08) that:

> ... make will print extra cruft like
> "GIT-VERSION-FILE is up to date" to stdout.

They now can use "make -s" to avoid filtering out the cruft.
