[v4,13/23] Makefile: move $(comma), $(empty) and $(space) to shared.mak

Commit Message

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Nov. 17, 2021, 10:20 a.m. UTC

Move these variables over to the shared.max, we'll make use of them in
a subsequent commit. There was no reason for these to be "simply
expanded variables", so let's use the normal lazy "=" assignment here.

See 425ca6710b2 (Makefile: allow combining UBSan with other
sanitizers, 2017-07-15) for the commit that introduced these.
