Makefile: remove archives before manipulating them with 'ar'
The rules creating the $(LIB_FILE) and $(XDIFF_LIB) archives used to
be:
$(QUIET_AR)$(RM) $@ && $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $^
until commit 7b76d6bf22 (Makefile: add and use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR"
flag, 2021-06-29) removed the '$(RM) $@' part, claiming that "we can
rely on the "c" (create) being present in ARFLAGS", and (I presume)
assuming that it means that the named archive is created from scratch.
Unfortunately, that's not what the 'c' flag does, it merely "Suppress
the diagnostic message that is written to standard error by default
when the archive is created" [1]. Consequently, all object files that
are already present in an existing archive and are not replaced will
remain there. This leads to linker errors in back-to-back builds of
different revisions without a 'make clean' between them if source
files going into these archives are renamed in between:
# The last commit renaming files that go into 'libgit.a':
# bc62692757 (hash-lookup: rename from sha1-lookup, 2020-12-31)
# sha1-lookup.c => hash-lookup.c | 14 +++++++-------
# sha1-lookup.h => hash-lookup.h | 12 ++++++------

Restore the original make rules to first remove $(LIB_FILE) and
$(XDIFF_LIB) and then create them from scratch to avoid these build
errors.
