This improvement will solve a couple of [DRC REQP-1839] warning:
"The RAMB36E1 has an input control pin * which is driven by a register * that has
an active asynchronous set or reset. This may cause corruption of the memory
contents and/or read values when the set/reset is asserted and is not analyzed
by the default static timing analysis. It is suggested to eliminate the use of
a set/reset to registers driving this RAMB pin or else use a synchronous reset
in which the assertion of the reset is timed by default."
Currently the individual IP core dependencies are tracked inside the
library Makefile for Xilinx IPs and the project Makefiles only reference
the IP cores.
For Altera on the other hand the individual dependencies are tracked inside
the project Makefile. This leads to a lot of duplicated lists and also
means that the project Makefiles need to be regenerated when one of the IP
cores changes their files.
Change the Altera projects to a similar scheme than the Xilinx projects.
The projects themselves only reference the library as a whole as their
dependency while the library Makefile references the individual source
dependencies.
Since on Altera there is no target that has to be generated create a dummy
target called ".timestamp_altera" who's only purpose is to have a timestamp
that is greater or equal to the timestamp of all of the IP core files. This
means the project Makefile can have a dependency on this file and make sure
that the project will be rebuild if any of the files in the library
changes.
This patch contains quite a bit of churn, but hopefully it reduces the
amount of churn in the future when modifying Altera IP cores.

This reduces the amount of boilerplate code that is present in these
Makefiles by a lot.
It also makes it possible to update the Makefile rules in future without
having to re-generate all the Makefiles.

Clean ran for a project will clean only the project files.
Clean-all ran for a project will clean also the library files on which the project depends.
The clean commands will only remove specific files and directories.
The top Makefile allows several options(per suggestion from jameyhicks):
make fmcomms1.zed will run "make all" in projects/fmcomms1/zed/
make clean will run "make clean" for all the projects
make clean-all will run "make clean" for all the projects and libraries
make lib will run "make all" for the library files
