Please allow "make" as alias for "makefile"

[tripleee]

Could you please allow ```make as a convenient shorthand for ```makefile? This is definitely more guessable than the currently supported aliases ```mk and ```mak, and the name of the actual command you use to run a Makefile.

Hmmmm... are there any other makes our there other than GNU make that would make "make" ambiguous?

[tripleee]

The original make from 1976 is the lowest common denominator here; GNU make significantly extends the syntax in ways which are incompatible with e.g. BSD make and nmake but that is really beside the point here. All of these use make as the command name (at least as an option; I suppose nmake is most commonly invoked with that name) and Makefile as the standard input file name, with random .mk and probably occasionally .mak files as a common convention for nonstandard input files.

@allejo Any thoughts? I don't think I'm opposed to this. We'd need:

• Update SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES
• Update makefile.js

@tripleee Are you wanting to pull together a small PR for this if we green light?

[tripleee]

I can try to step in if there's nobody around who is familiar with Javacript in general and this project in particular.

Plus I always try to encourage new contributors - doubly so for easy things. If you cut your teeth on just adding an alias then perhaps when you see how deficient the Makefile grammar is you'll be more tempted to come back and make a contribution to improve it. :-) That's just a hope of course. :-)
