The same as plain make. bootstrap is the default target when
--enable-bootstrap is given, and its behavior resembles a "bubblestrap"
(see later) in the old system.
This removes the wart where "make" following a "make bootstrap" invoked
a "quickstrap" and often caused comparison failures. To the next topic...

... bubblestrap rebuilds only changed files. quickstrap rebuilds only
the last stage. restrap takes (took?) a non-bootstrap build, uses it as
stage1, and then completes the bootstrap.
