from ChangeLog:
(most of this by rillig@)
o lots of style and white-space cleanup
o lots more unit tests for variable modifiers
o simplified description of some functions
o str.c: refactor Str_Match
o var.c: debugging output for :@
constify VarModify parameter

refactor ApplyModifiers
* var.c: we need stdint.h on some platforms to get uint32_t
* unit-test/Makefile: we need to supress the specific error
for RE substitution error in modmisc, since it varies accross
different OS.
Interesting changes:
o meta.c: move handling of .MAKE.META.IGNORE_* to meta_ignore()
so we can call it before adding entries to missingFiles.
Thus we do not track files we have been told to ignore.
o meta_oodate: apply .MAKE.META.IGNORE_FILTER (if defined) to
pathnames, and skip if the expansion is empty.
Useful for dirdeps.mk when checking DIRDEPS_CACHE.
o meta.c: remove all missingFiles entries that match a deleted
dir.
o main.c: set .ERROR_CMD if possible.
