Improve make help output formatting #557

Description

@yhontyk

Current output uses the formatting of * description of the command: make command aka value - key, it is a somewhat unusual way to format command reference lists, IMO. As I actively use make commands from SP currently, and sometimes need to them up, I constantly stumble upon this. Swapping to key - value order would make it a bit more conventional.

Also, it might be worth considering documenting the commands next to the code and just grep and printf the commands with their descriptions. I don't believe the Makefile changes often though, so it might be just a nice-to-have.
