Subject: [PATCH v2] kbuild: prevent make from deleting _shipped files

commit 7373f4f (kbuild: add implicit rules for parser generation)
created a implicit rule chain (%.c: %.c_shipped: %.y).
Make considers the _shipped files to be intermediate files which 
causes them to be deleted if they didn't exist before make was run.
Mark the _shipped files PRECIOUS to prevent make from deleting them.

V2: update changelog to specify files are only deleted when they did not 
already exist
