Heh, I agree, "make world" isn't really needed.  But it was
either a quick comment about it and link to the handbook where
we advocate "buildworld" or remove the world target.  Of course,
we could just do nothing and let users continue to submit PRs
about it bombing with a complaint of an undocumented make(1)
option.

Personally, I was debating on just removing most of the
world target with just a message:

"The world target has been replaced with the buildworld target."

But stepped back due to bikeshed potential.  ;)
