Makefile: use mkdir_p_parent_template for UNIT_TEST_BIN
We build the UNIT_TEST_BIN directory (t/unit-tests/bin) on the fly with
"mkdir -p". And so the recipe for UNIT_TEST_PROGS, which put their
output in that directory, depend on UNIT_TEST_BIN to make sure it's
there.
But using a normal dependency leads to weird outcomes, because the
timestamp of the directory is important. For example, try this:
$ make
[...builds everything...]
[now re-build one unit test]
$ touch t/unit-tests/t-ctype.c
$ make
SUBDIR templates
CC t/unit-tests/t-ctype.o
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-ctype
So far so good. Now running make again should build nothing. But it
doesn't!
$ make
SUBDIR templates
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-basic
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-mem-pool
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-strbuf
Er, what? Let's rebuild again:
$ make
SUBDIR templates
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-ctype
Weird. And now we ping-pong back and forth forever:
$ make
SUBDIR templates
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-basic
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-mem-pool
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-strbuf
$ make
SUBDIR templates
LINK t/unit-tests/bin/t-ctype
What happens is that writing t/unit-tests/bin/t-ctype updates the mtime
of the directory t/unit-tests/bin. And then on the next invocation of
make, all of those other tests are now older and so get rebuilt. And
back and forth forever.
We can fix this by making the directory as part of the build recipe for
the programs, using the template from 0b6d0bc924
(Makefiles: add and use
wildcard "mkdir -p" template, 2022-03-03).
