[PATCH 4/5] Makefile: consolidate .FORCE-* targets

From

Providing multiple targets to force a rebuild is unnecessary complication.

Avoid using a name that could conflict with future special targets in GNU make (a leading period followed by uppercase letters).

The corresponding change to the git-gui Makefile is left for another patch.
