Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] dimlib: Use *-y instead of *-objs in Makefile

*-objs suffix is reserved rather for (user-space) host programs while
usually *-y suffix is used for kernel drivers (although *-objs works
for that purpose for now).

Let's correct the old usages of *-objs in Makefiles.

Reported by Olek. As I said him this is correct change which is
documented in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst "Composite Host
Programs" (mind the meaning of the word "host"!).
