Subject: [PATCH] revert: "Makefile: use pattern rules for build/.deps
 (#10366)"

This reverts commit 7f6ff829aa2347eb940d8e70a825ea335d8f15ed.

The given reasoning and usecase is unsatisfactory. While it is true that
it allows to run `make build/bin/nvim`, it can easily be recreated with
`ninja -C build bin/nvim` which does the exact same thing. This minor
convenience is not worth adding the extra code given how rare this
usecase should be.
