Makefile: add .FORCE target

Sorry for introducing that, but we need to force-rebuild implicit
rules on the level of main Makefile. All the sub-makefiles should
decide if the force-rebuilding target really needs a rebuild,
because they know it's dependencies.

Pattern-specific rules are implicit, so something like:
.PHONY: compel/% criu/% #...
will not work.
.FORCE target seems the simplest way to solve this
"going to submake on rebuild" problem.
But maybe there is more elegant proposal?

FWIW, before this patch:
    [criu]$ make compel/compel
    make[1]: Entering directory '~/tools/criu'
      HOSTDEP  compel/handle-elf-32.d
    ...
      HOSTLINK compel/compel
    make[1]: Leaving directory '~/tools/criu'
    [criu]$ touch compel/main.c
    [criu]$ make compel/compel
    make: 'compel/compel' is up to date.
    [criu]$ touch compel/Makefile
    [criu]$ make compel/compel
    make: 'compel/compel' is up to date.
After the patch:
    [criu]$ touch compel/main.c
    [criu]$ make compel/compel
    make[1]: Entering directory '~/tools/criu'
      HOSTDEP  compel/main.d
      HOSTCC   compel/main.o
      HOSTLINK compel/compel
    make[1]: Leaving directory '~/tools/criu'
    [criu]$ touch compel/Makefile
    [criu]$ make compel/compel
    make[1]: Entering directory '~/tools/criu'
      HOSTDEP  compel/handle-elf-32.d
    ...
      HOSTLINK compel/compel
    make[1]: Leaving directory '~/tools/criu'
