Attachment: Bug 1861288 - Improve coverage of the pre-export and export phases in profiles.

At the top-level, what we currently have is something akin to:
export: some deps
echo BUILDSTATUS TIER_START export
make recurse_export
...

In practice, what this means is that some and deps are built outside
the export tier/phase.

Since recurse_export is itself a recipe with dependencies, we can "just"
move some and deps to become dependencies of recurse_export instead.
But since in non top-level directories, recurse_export is not a thing,
we still need to keep the dependencies on export there.

Unfortunately, we have one instance of something built during
recurse_export that relied on its undeclared/undeclarable dependencies
being built before recurse_export, so we need to accomodate for that.

Also, for some reason, recurse_pre-export was a two-colons recipe, while
the other recurse_* recipes were single-colon, so fix that.

Come to think of it, the same probably applies to misc and libs, which
this would mechanically fix alongside.
