[PATCH 0/3] Makefile: make "sparse" and "hdr-check" non-.PHONY

Now that my series to only build "TAGS" when we strictly need to has landed in 1b8bd2243e7 (Merge branch 'ab/make-tags-cleanup', 2021-09-20), let's do the same for the "sparse" and "hdr-check" targets.

For *.c files we'll now generate corresponding empty *.sp and *.hco files when "sparse" and "hdr-check" are run, respectively. If either of those errored on the *.c file we'd fail to refresh the corresponding generated file.

Put together a:

    make -j8 all TAGS sparse hdr-check

Takes around 15s on "master" when there's nothing new to do (we re-do all of "sparse hdr-check"), now it'll take <100ms if there's nothing to do, and say ~2s if I do a "touch ref*.[ch]".
