build: add comments to makefiles

Add comments to build system makefile functions and variables to help
developers in understanding build system internals and ease the
development process.

This patch adds some documentation examples with proposed doxygen-like
syntax. Hopefully, this would start the discussion and result in
generation of the makefile documentation guidelines.
