[bug #60297] optimize autodeps

[Britton Kerin]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #60297 (project make):

I strongly second Dmitry's proposal that something like .NOTINTERMEDIATE:
(preferably with a no-dependencies-means-all interpretation) should be added. 
The IMO weird behavior of .SECONDARY where it effectively creates strange weak
dependencies just bit me for the second time. This time I just said a short
prayer and removed .SECONDARY:, but what I really want is to disable the
eccentric handling of intermediate files entirely.

This might add more implementation complexity and one more feature to
consider, but it gives a road to simpler behavior.
