runtime(make): Makefile highlighting breaks with ')' in string

runtime(make): Makefile highlighting breaks with ')' in string

Problem: Makefile syntax highlighting incorrectly ends function calls
when encountering ')' inside double or single quoted strings,
causing incorrect highlighting for the remainder of the line.
Solution: Add makeDString and makeSString to the contains list for
makeIdent regions. This allows strings to be recognized inside
variable references and function calls.

fixes: #18687
closes: #18818
