Change these variable definitions from being simply-expanded to be recursively expanded instead. I.e. they'll be lazily expanded when used. I added these in 5e9637c6297 (i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext, 2011-11-18) and 20d2a30f8ff (Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules, 2017-12-10), the reason for using ":=" over "=" was that I didn't know the difference in 2011 (I think I copied some POC code), and in 2017 I used the 2011 commit for reference. This doesn't make much if any of a practical difference, doing this is cheap either way, but as simply-expanded variables in our Makefile generally indicate special behavior (e.g. making a copy now, and modifying the RHS later) let's change these to show that nothing odd is going on here).
