We have various behavior that's shared across our Makefiles, or that
really should be (e.g. via defined templates). Let's create a
top-level "shared.mak" to house those sorts of things, and start by
adding the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag to it.
See my own 7b76d6bf221 (Makefile: add and use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR"
flag, 2021-06-29) and db10fc6c09f (doc: simplify Makefile using
.DELETE_ON_ERROR, 2021-05-21) for the addition and use of the
".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag.
I.e. this changes the behavior of existing rules in the altered
Makefiles (except "Makefile" & "Documentation/Makefile"). I'm
confident that this is safe having read the relevant rules in those
Makfiles, and as the GNU make manual notes that it isn't the default
behavior is out of an abundance of backwards compatibility
caution. From edition 0.75 of its manual, covering GNU make 4.3:
[Enabling '.DELETE_ON_ERROR' is] almost always what you want
'make' to do, but it is not historical practice; so for
compatibility, you must explicitly request it.
This doesn't introduce a bug by e.g. having this
".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag only apply to this new shared.mak, Makefiles
have no such scoping semantics.
It does increase the danger that any Makefile without an explicit "The
default target of this Makefile is..." snippet to define the default
target as "all" could have its default rule changed if our new
shared.mak ever defines a "real" rule. In subsequent commits we'll be
careful not to do that, and such breakage would be obvious e.g. in the
case of "make -C t".
We might want to make that less fragile still (e.g. by using
".DEFAULT_GOAL" as noted in the preceding commit), but for now let's
simply include "shared.mak" without adding that boilerplate to all the
Makefiles that don't have it already. Most of those are already
exposed to that potential caveat e.g. due to including "config.mak*".

To test the Scalar command, create a test script in contrib/scalar/t
that is executed as `make -C contrib/scalar test`. Since Scalar has no
meaningful capabilities yet, the only test is rather simple. We will add
more tests in subsequent commits that introduce corresponding, new
functionality.
Note: This test script is intended to test `scalar` only lightly, even
after all of the functionality is implemented.
A more comprehensive functional (or: integration) test suite can be
found at https://github.com/microsoft/scalar; It is used in the workflow
https://github.com/microsoft/git/blob/HEAD/.github/workflows/scalar-functional-tests.yml
in Microsoft's Git fork. This test suite performs end-to-end tests with
a real remote repository, and is run as part of the regular CI and PR
builds in that fork.
Since those tests require some functionality supported only by
Microsoft's Git fork ("GVFS protocol"), there is no intention to port
that fuller test suite to `contrib/scalar/`.
