[PATCH v2 2/8] Makefile: stop hardcoding {command,config}-list.h

["Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason" <avarab@gmail.com>]

Change various places that hardcode the names of these two files to
refer to either $(GENERATED_H), or to a new generated-hdrs
target. That target is consistent with the *-objs targets I recently
added in 029bac01a8 (Makefile: add {program,xdiff,test,git,fuzz}-objs
& objects targets, 2021-02-23).

A subsequent commit will add a new generated hook-list.h. By doing
this refactoring we'll only need to add the new file to the
GENERATED_H variable, not EXCEPT_HDRS, the vcbuild/README etc.

Hardcoding command-list.h there seems to have been a case of
copy/paste programming in 976aaedca0 (msvc: add a Makefile target to
pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29). The
config-list.h was added later in 709df95b78 (help: move
list_config_help to builtin/help, 2020-04-16).
