    Makefile: Support totally quiet output with -s · ee1ba6d4

    "-s" is a command line option to the make tool, to suppress normal output,
    something to the effect of prepending every line with '@' in the Makefile.
    However with our V={0|1} support, we now print the shortened command line
    output in any case (even with V=1, in addition to the long line!).
    Normally -s helps to not miss non-fatal warnings, which tend to scroll out
    of the window easily.
    
    Introduce a new Makefile variable ECHO, to control the shortened output.
    We only set it in the (current default) V=0 case, and replace every
    occurence of "@echo" with that variable.
    When the user specifies "-s", we set ECHO to some magic string which
    changes the output line into a comment, so the output is suppressed.
    
    Beside suppressing every output for "-s", we also avoid the redundant
    short output when compiling with V=1.
    
    This changes the output to:
    ==========
    $ make -s PLAT=.... bl31
    
    Built build/.../release/bl31.bin
    
    ==========
    $ make PLAT=.... bl31
    ...
      CC      lib/libc/strncmp.c
      CC      lib/libc/strnlen.c
    ...
    ==========
    $ make V=1 PLAT=.... bl31
    ...
    gcc -DDEBUG=0 .... -o build/.../release/libc/strncmp.o
    gcc -DDEBUG=0 .... -o build/.../release/libc/strnlen.o
    ...
    ==========
