build: use the "force" mechanism to always run the revision rule

Whenever 'make' is run, it should check whether the revision has
changed, and if so, it should update src/revision.h.

This portable FORCE mechanism should have been the replacement for
the phony target that was removed in a33a4f00, five commits ago.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50956 in a better way.
