Take an example when CXX_SOURCES is main.cpp.
main.d is an included file. make will rebuild main.d, re-executes itself [1] to read
in the new main.d file, then rebuild main.o, finally link main.o into a.out.
main.cpp is parsed twice in this process.
This patch merges .d generation into .o generation [2], writes explicit rules
for .c/.m and deletes suffix rules for %.m and %.o. Since a target can be
satisfied by either of .c/.cpp/.m/.mm, we use multiple pattern rules. The
rule with the prerequisite (with VPATH considered) satisfied is used [3].
Since suffix rules are disabled, the implicit rule for archive member targets is
no long available [4]. Rewrite, simplify the archive rule and inline it into the
only test test/API/functionalities/archives/Makefile.

ObjC/ObjCXX tests only run on macOS. I don't have testing environment. Hope
someone can do it for me.
