This was added in 30248886ce8 (Makefile: disable default implicit
rules, 2010-01-26), let's move it to the top of "shared.mak" so it'll
apply to all our Makefiles.
This doesn't benefit the main Makefile at all, since it already had
the rule, but since we're including shared.mak in other Makefiles
starts to benefit them. E.g. running the 'man" target is now ~1.3x
faster:
$ git -c hyperfine.hook.setup= hyperfine -L rev HEAD~1,HEAD~0 -s 'make -j8 -C Documentation man' 'make -C Documentation man' --warmup 10 -M 10
Benchmark 1: make -C Documentation man' in 'HEAD~1
Time (mean ± σ): 87.2 ms ± 1.0 ms [User: 79.3 ms, System: 10.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 86.3 ms … 89.7 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 2: make -C Documentation man' in 'HEAD~0
Time (mean ± σ): 64.5 ms ± 0.6 ms [User: 54.5 ms, System: 13.0 ms]
Range (min … max): 63.8 ms … 65.7 ms 10 runs
Summary
'make -C Documentation man' in 'HEAD~0' ran
1.35 ± 0.02 times faster than 'make -C Documentation man' in 'HEAD~1'
