Ninja: Make assumed source dependencies order-only

Since its beginning the Ninja generator has handled `GENERATED` source
files that have no custom command producing them by writing a dummy
custom command for them that depends on the target ordering phony edge.
Make the custom command's dependency order-only since the phony edge
also has only order-only dependencies.  The dummy custom command
should never be considered "dirty" by `ninja`.

Fixes: #17942
