tools: ynl: Fix out-of-tree build for ynltool

Browse source 
After the blamed commit, running a out-of-tree build for ynltool fails :

  # make -C tools/net/ynl/ynltool O=/tmp/o1
  make: Entering directory 'tools/net/ynl/ynltool'
  make: *** No rule to make target '/tmp/o1/json_writer.o', needed by '/tmp/o1/ynltool'.  Stop.

ynltool's Makefile correctly accounts for $(OUTPUT) to get the list of
object files to generate :

OBJS := $(patsubst %.c,$(OUTPUT)%.o,$(SRCS))

but it never actually set $(OUTPUT) before the blamed commit, meaning
that out-of-tree buils of ynltool were always actually in-tree.

Now, the O= parameter is correctly accounted for, and the %o: %c rule fails.

Let's update the %o: %c rule to also use $(OUTPUT), as well as the .d
file expansion so that any header change is taken into account.
