description:
make: fix double varname expansion in the variable modifier '::='

This is an edge case that doesn't occur in practice since pretty much
nobody dares to use variable names that contain an actual '$' in their
name.  This is not about the fairly common VAR.${param} (as written in
the makefile), but instead about the variable whose name is literally
'VAR.${param}'.

The test demonstrates that after the fix, the variable name is taken
exactly as-is for the simple assignment modifier '::='.  There are no
such tests for the modifiers '::+=', '::!=' and '::?=', but that's ok.
The code in ApplyModifier_Assign would look assymetrical and suspicious
enough if one of these modifiers would expand its variable name and the
others wouldn't.
