Mark Pizzolato 3dbac4c4dd makefile: Simplify and correct the messaging about missing dependencies ...

- When dependencies needed for the specified build target(s) are not
  all available, display explicitly what is package(s) are missing for the
  current platform's package manager.  Ask if the build should proceed
  or if the missing pieces should be installed first.  If the user wants to
  install the missing package(s) first, then show them precicely what
  commands are needed for that package manager on that platform.
  If the platform is macOS and the package manager is HomeBrew, then
  automatically install missing packages and perform the initially desired
  build.  All other package managers require root access, so the commands
  the user needs to enter to install the missing packages and to restart the
  build are displayed the build exits.
- Explicit support provided for
   1) HomeBrew and MacPorts on macOS,
   2) apt AND yum on various Linux distributions
   3) pkgin on NetBSD
  for Debian and
