Making from root and no more Makefiles

After merging in the implementation of #1659, the only way to compile QMK is in the root directory, with the full command:

make <keyboard>[-<subproject>]-<keymap>-<target>

where the subproject is optional. Errors associated with trying to build anywhere else may be:

QMK Firmware v0.5.125
error: pathspec 'keyboards/<keyboard>/lib/chibios' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
make: *** [<keyboard>-allsp-allkm] Error 1

or

make: *** No rule to make target `default'.  Stop.

In addition to this change, the only Makefile that should exist is the one in the QMK root - all others have been/should be converted to rules.mk, which is now included in its stead, at every level:

If you see any Makefile in any of these locations, you can feel free to delete it.
