Ninja,Makefile: Drop extra space after RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM value

The Ninja and Makefile generators were adding a space to the value both
before and after expanding rule variables.  Only the latter is needed.

While at it, revise some outdated comments since the rule variable
expansion is no longer responsible for inserting the launcher.
