Tarballs set as order-only prerequisites, not needed for build calls
Until now, the tarballs were the first normal prerequisite of the software. As a result if their date changed, the whole software would be re-built. However, for tarballs specifically, we actually check their contents with a checksum, so their date is irrelevant (if its newer than the built program, but has the same checksum, there is no need to re-build the software). Also, calling the tarball name as an argument to the building process (for example `gbuild') was redundant. It is now automatically found from the list of order-only prerequisites within `gbuild' and `cbuild' (similar to how it was previously found in the `pybuild' for Python building). A `README.md' file has also been placed in `reproduce/software/make' to help describe the shared properties of the software building Makefiles. This will hopefully grow much larger in the future.
