        [GTK] Disable superfluous GNU make built-in implicit rules
        https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51826

        GNU make ships some superflous built-in rules that we never use
        and that end up adding up to a very significant portion of our
        total Makefile processing time. Disable them completely by
        defining the rule without any recipe, as suggested by the GNU make
        manual (10.5.6, Cancelling Implicit Rules).

        In my system the null-build goes from:

        make  43.51s user 12.77s system 99% cpu 56.628 total

        to:

        make  31.45s user 11.59s system 99% cpu 43.227 total

        * GNUmakefile.am: disable implicit built-in rules.
