Similar to the gnulib changes we just incorporated into maint.mk,
it's time to use '$(VC_LIST) | xargs program' instead of
'program $$($(VC_LIST))', in order to bypass the problem of hitting
argv limits due to our large set of files.

Drop several uses of $$files as a temporary variable when we can
instead directly use xargs. While at it, fix a typo in the
prohibit_windows_special_chars error message.

Not sure why the /dev/null is needed.

If the syntax check rule were to operate on an empty list of files, we
can just delete it.

With the /dev/null changes removed or justified:
