dependencies: host-make version check

The host make program is already checked by dependencies.sh but we
want to check the version number even if Buildroot is able to use
GNU make >= 3.81 but some packages may require a more recent version.

For example, since version 2.28 [1], glibc requires GNU Make >= 4.0.

For packages requiring make >= 4.0, the package makefile must use:
<PKG>_DEPENDENCIES = $(BR2_MAKE_HOST_DEPENDENCY) ...
<PKG>_MAKE = $(BR2_MAKE)

BR2_MAKE1 is also available if needed.

[Thomas: remove extraction of "bugfix" part of the version, since it's
not used anywhere.]
