"make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests

* Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
(local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
(syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
