Aleksei Sviridkin 340483fdf0 fix(hack): declare the shared package targets and the root test target phony (#3353)
## What this PR does

`hack/package.mk` set `.PHONY` with `=` instead of `:`:

```make
.PHONY=help show diff apply delete update image
```

That assigns a variable which happens to be named `.PHONY`; it declares
nothing. `make -p` prints it back among the variables (`.PHONY = help
show diff apply delete update image`) rather than as a special target,
so none of the targets `package.mk` defines was phony in any package
that includes it.

Nothing in the tree collides with those names today, so this is
preventive rather than a fix for present breakage. The failure it
forecloses is quiet: with a directory named `image` beside a package
Makefile, `make image` prints `make: 'image' is up to date.` and exits 0
without building. A file of that name is enough on its own where the
rule has no prerequisites; where it has one, the recipe keeps running
until that prerequisite is shadowed too.

The list changed as well. `suspend`, `resume`, `check` and `clean` are
defined in this file and were missing, and `check` is the one that
matters most, since it is the prerequisite that keeps `show`, `diff`,
`apply` and `delete` rebuilding. `update` and `image` are gone, because
`package.mk` does not define them; the including package Makefile does.
Naming an undefined target in `.PHONY` creates it as an empty target,
turning `No rule to make target` (exit 2) into `Nothing to be done`
(exit 0) wherever the rule is missing. That reaches CI too:
`hack/build-matrix.sh` parses the root Makefile `build:` target and runs
`make -C <pkg> image` per unit, so a package arriving in that list
without an `image:` rule would go from a red job to a green one that
builds nothing.

`.DEFAULT_GOAL` on the line above keeps its `=`. That one is a real
variable, so the assignment form is right there. A comment now says
which of the two lines is which, since they read alike and one of them
just changed shape.

`hack/package-mk-phony.bats` covers the declaration and is picked up
automatically by the `hack/*.bats` glob in `bats-unit-tests`. Five of
its six tests cover `package.mk`: that the declared names are really
phony with a file of each name sitting beside the Makefile; a control
that mutates a copy back to the assignment form and requires the probe
to report up-to-date, so the first cannot pass vacuously; that the
declared list and the defined targets are the same set, checked both
directions; and two pinning the `update`/`image` exclusion, one
requiring the loud failure to survive and one extending the list in a
copy and requiring it to disappear. The loud-failure test pins both the
exit status 2 and the diagnostic. A wrapper that kept make's wording
while returning something else would pass a check on the message alone.

One point decides where the guarantee actually lives. The first test
reads its names from the `.PHONY:` line, so it cannot see a name dropped
from that line at all. The set-equality test is what guards every name's
presence.

One known gap is left in place. The first test decides by matching
make's `is up to date`, which make prints only for a target that has a
recipe, and a recipe-less alias never draws it: with no prerequisite
both forms print `Nothing to be done`, and with a prerequisite that is
itself out of date, which every target in this file is for being phony,
the working form prints that prerequisite's recipe while the broken form
prints `Nothing to be done`. The probe separates neither pair, so such a
name would pass the first test either way. Measured on both shapes, not
assumed. Every target `package.mk` defines has a recipe, so nothing is
uncovered today; the control test does not close the gap either, since
an alias is a defined target and the control requires `is up to date`
from it, which turns it red against the probe rather than against the
alias. Worth closing if an alias is ever added.

One more for whoever edits the suite next: `hack/cozytest.sh` rewrites
every bare `}` at column 0 into `return 0` followed by `}`. That is
aimed at `@test` blocks, but it does not distinguish them from a plain
shell function, so a helper factored out of these tests would silently
become unable to return a non-zero status. Tests 1 and 2 repeat a loop
rather than share one for reasons of their own, but this is the trap
waiting for anyone who merges them.

Two properties of the suite are worth stating, because both are easy to
get wrong in the other direction. The set-equality test extracts the
defined targets with a pattern that accepts a rule naming several
targets at once, so `suspend resume: check` keeps both names in the set;
anchoring the colon to a single name drops every name on such a line,
and for a target nothing else depends on that goes unnoticed. And the
control test probes the targets `package.mk` defines rather than the
names on its `.PHONY:` line, because `is up to date` is only a
meaningful answer for a name that has a rule: a declared-but-undefined
name prints `Nothing to be done` in both the working and the broken
form, so probing it in the control fails against the probe, while the
set-equality test holds the message that names the defect.

Last one, about how the tests find the repo. All six read it as
`repo=$(pwd)`, which assumes the runner starts at the repo root. That
holds for `make bats-unit-tests` and for the invocation the header
documents, so nothing is broken, and the assumption is the ordinary
shape in `hack/` rather than an outlier: about half the bats files there
resolve repo-relative paths against the cwd the same way, several
stating it in their own headers, and this is not even the only one
spelling it with `$(pwd)`. What is worth naming is the failure mode:
started elsewhere, these tests go red with `no '.PHONY:' declaration
found in hack/package.mk`, which reads like a real finding rather than a
wrong directory.

The root `Makefile` had the same defect, and there it had already fired.
`test` was not on its `.PHONY:` line and a `test/` directory sits beside
it, so `make test` printed `'test' is up to date` and exited 0 without
running anything, while `docs/agents/overview.md` advertises that
command as the way to run the full suite. CI never used it: the workflow
calls `test-controllers` and drives e2e out of `packages/core/testing`,
so the cost fell on anyone following the docs by hand. One name on the
declaration closes it, and the suite gained a sixth test that goes red
without it. Every other undeclared target in that file is unshadowed
today, so none of them is reachable the way `test` was, and they are
left alone here. #3709 covers the same class in the four
`packages/core/` Makefiles, which include only `hack/common-envs.mk` and
so are out of reach of this change entirely.

### Downstream repositories

`scripts/package.mk` in cozystack/external-apps-example was a
byte-for-byte copy of `hack/package.mk` (identical sha256 before this
change), carrying the same inert `.PHONY=` line. This PR splits the two
files, and the copy was fixed separately. It landed the same nine names,
and `update` and `image` are absent there for the reason they are absent
here: `scripts/package.mk` does not define them either, and neither does
any Makefile that includes it. What separates the two files now is the
two-line comment added here, and nothing else.
