Various bug fixes for MSYS/MinGW related to paths, strings, regular expressions and file system APIs
Fix source file paths in the backtick pattern
Fix cases of not finding an existing MAKE executable in the path
Add new settings: makefile.saveBeforeBuild and makefile.buildBeforeLaunch
Rename launch commands:
- makefile.launchTargetPath --> makefile.getLaunchTargetPath
- makefile.launchTargetDirectory --> makefile.getLaunchTargetDirectory
- makefile.launchTargetFileName --> makefile.getLaunchTargetFileName
- makefile.launchTargetArgs --> makefile.getLaunchTargetArgs
- makefile.launchTargetArgsConcat --> makefile.getLaunchTargetArgsConcat
Add new launch commands, that trigger a build when makefile.buildBeforeLaunch allows:
- makefile.launchTargetPath
- makefile.launchTargetFileName

Activate in the presence of GNUmakefile in the root as well.
Add ignoreDirectoryCommands setting for when the extension should analyze only the output of make -C and not commands written in plain, like cd, pushd, popd.
Additional support for CCache, Libtool
Initial support for common scenarios of backquotes in compiler/linker command lines.
Fix bug when a .la library is considered executable for debug/launch.
