Fix performance degradation introduced by the second expansion feature.
I did this by adding intelligence into the algorithm such that the second expansion was only actually performed when the prerequisite list contained at least one "$", so we knew it is actually needed. Without this we were using up a LOT more memory, since every single target (even ones never used by make) had their file variables initialized. This also used a lot more CPU, since we needed to create and populate a new variable hash table for every target. There is one issue remaining with this feature: it leaks memory. In pattern_search() we now initialize the file variables for every pattern target, which allocates a hash table, etc. However, sometimes we recursively invoke pattern_search() (for intermediate files) with an automatic variable (alloca() I believe) as the file. When that function returns, obviously, the file variable hash memory is lost.
