1. Clarify make usage slightly …

   I noticed that the `make help` target had some ANSI escape sequences
   that didn't seem to do anything:
   
       @awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*##"; printf "\nUsage:\n  make \033[36m\033[0m\n"}
   
   Those escape sequences at the end mean "change the color to blue, then
   change it back to normal".
   
   I've seen this pattern copy-pasted around the web for a while, so I was
   curious to find what it was originally. I did some historical
   spelunking. The earliest example I can find that closely matches this
   help target is this:
   https://www.thapaliya.com/en/writings/well-documented-makefiles/
   
   In this version, there used to be a `<target>` inside the color
   sequences. I can see why that might be helpful. Otherwise, why have the
   first line that prints make at all?
