Subject: Add support for dynamic dependencies in ad hoc Buildscript recipes

Specifically, add the new `depdb dyndep` builtin that can be used to extract
dynamic dependencies from a program run or a file. For example:

obje{hello.o}: cxx{hello}
{{
  s = $path($<[0])

  depdb dyndep $cxx.poptions $cc.poptions --what=header --default-prereq-type=h -- $cxx.path $cxx.poptions $cc.poptions $cxx.mode -M -MG $s

  diag c++ ($<[0])

  o = $path($>)
  $cxx.path $cxx.poptions $cc.poptions $cc.coptions $cxx.coptions $cxx.mode -o $o -c $s
}}

Currently only the `make` dependency format is supported.
