build: only lint markdown files that have changed (POSIX-only)

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/Trott/just-the-changes into master

Update Makefile so that only markdown files that have changed will be linted. Currently, if one file in doc/api has changed, all files in doc/api are linted.

On Windows, the lint-md task currently lints all files regardless of whether any files has changed, and that behavior is unchanged here.

A further improvement is that when tools/lint-md.js is rebuilt, the timestamp file is removed so that all files are linted again. This is because rebuilding lint-md.js can introduce new rules or modify existing rules, so re-linting everything helps make sure that accidental breakage doesn't slip by unnoticed.
