build: fix incorrect dependencies

Commit af000bab11 ("doc: work around
Texinfo 6.7 bug"), published in 3.4.91, added a dependency on the
"all" target.

This is a super bad idea, since "make all" will run this
target *before* "all", which builds bison.  It turns out that this new
dependency actually needed bison to be built.  So all the regular
process (i) build $(BUILT_SOURCES) and then (ii) build bison, was
wrecked since some of the $(BUILT_SOURCES) depended on bison...

It was "easy" to see in the logs of "make V=1" because we were
building bison files (such as src/files.o) *before* displaying the
banner for "all-recursive".  With this fix, we finally get again the
proper sequence:

    rm -f examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp.tmp
    /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/mkdir -p examples/c/reccalc
    touch examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp.tmp
    flex   -oexamples/c/reccalc/scan.c --header=examples/c/reccalc/scan.h ./examples/c/reccalc/scan.l
    mv examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp.tmp examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp
    rm -f lib/fcntl.h-t lib/fcntl.h && \
    { echo '/* DO NOT EDIT! GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY! */'; \
      ...
    } > lib/fcntl.h-t && \
    mv lib/fcntl.h-t lib/fcntl.h
    ...
    mv -f lib/alloca.h-t lib/alloca.h
    make  all-recursive

* doc/local.mk (all): Rename as...
(all-local): this.
So that we don't compete with BUILT_SOURCES.

** Bug fixes
Fix concurrent build issues (introduced in Bison 3.5).
Push parsers always use YYMALLOC/YYFREE (no direct calls to malloc/free).
Portability issues of the test suite, and of bison itself.
Fix portability issues of the test suite, and of bison itself.
Some unlikely crashes found by fuzzing have been fixed. This is only
about bison itself, not the generated parsers.
