Some Makefiles under tools/ use the 'override CFLAGS += ...' construct to add a few required options to CFLAGS passed by the user. Unfortunately that only works when user passes CFLAGS as an environment variable, i.e. CFLAGS=... make ... and not in case when CFLAGS are passed as make command line arguments: make ... CFLAGS=... It happens because in the latter case CFLAGS=... is recorded in the make variable MAKEOVERRIDES and this variable is passed in its original form to all $(MAKE) subcommands, taking precedence over modified CFLAGS value passed in the environment variable. E.g. this causes build failure for gpio and iio tools when the build is run with user CFLAGS because of missing _GNU_SOURCE definition needed for the asprintf().
One way to fix it is by removing overridden variables from the MAKEOVERRIDES. Add macro 'drop-var-from-overrides' that removes a definition of a variable passed to it from the MAKEOVERRIDES and use it to fix CFLAGS passing for tools/gpio and tools/iio.
This implementation tries to be precise in string processing and handle variables with embedded spaces and backslashes correctly. To achieve that it replaces every '\' sequence with '-' to make sure that every '' in the resulting string is an escape character. It then replaces every '\ ' sequence with '_' to turn string values with embedded spaces into single words. After filtering the overridden variable definition out of the resulting string these two transformations are reversed.

Changes v1->v2:
- make drop-var-from-overrides-code work correctly with arbitrary variables, including thoses ending with ''.
