Log Message:
make(1): inline character constants in var.c

This removes a level of indirection, and the macro names were quite
similar in appearance as well.  The macros may have been used by people
whose editors don't recognize C string and character literals when
navigating to the corresponding brace or parenthesis.  These editors had
already been confused before this commit since there are also string
literals with unbalanced parentheses, and there are far fewer
compensating comments such as /*{*/ or /*)*/ in the code.  In fact, the
only such comment that is left over was in for.c.

This way, there is now a single consistent way of writing these
character literals, which is without macros or comments, since that is
the simplest form.
