Makefile: be silent when only GIT_USER_AGENT changes

To avoid noise during builds, unlike the GIT-CFLAGS rule which prints "* new build flags or prefix" so the operator knows why all files are being rebuilt when it changes, GIT-USER-AGENT generation is silent. If this code breaks and a target depending on GIT-USER-AGENT ends up being rebuilt when it shouldn't be, the full dependency chain can be retrieved with "make --debug=b".
