BUILD: makefile: implement support for running a command in range

When running "make range", it would be convenient to support running
reg tests or anything else such as "size", "pahole" or even benchmarks.
Such commands are usually specific to the developer's environment, so
let's just pass a generic variable TEST_CMD that is executed as-is if
not empty.

This way it becomes possible to run "make range RANGE=... TEST_CMD=...".
