echo -n does not give the intended effect when invoked in macOS through
/bin/sh, which is the shell make uses by default, see
"https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11675070/makefile-echo-n-not-working"; for
a detailed explanation. In this case, it resulted in "-n" being written to
env.txt and env.in even though they should be empty, which caused compilation
to fail with "Your board uses a text-file environment, so must not define
CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS".
This patch prevents the error by replacing echo -n's with touch, as they are
used to create empty files in these cases.
