Bug 20727 – `make -f posix.mak clean` requires a D compiler

Currently, running `make -f posix.mak clean` errors out if one doesn't have `dmd` in the path, because the check in in `src/posix.mak` is done regardless of the target. However, the clean target doesn't depend on DMD. See https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/05388e29001a83d1ef47f951433528ea8cf3332c/src/posix.mak#L79-L100 This also broke `setup.sh` from the tools repository, which was one of the pain point of Andrei: https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]

@Razvan: Why did you close? The linked PR is a workaround in tools, for a bug in DMD, and I didn't see any PR addressing it recently.

Sorry, I thought the issue was fixed.
