Makefiles: Remove non-functioning relative path conversion
In CMake 3.6 and below, running cmake --build . --target "$(pwd)/SomeTarget" with a Makefiles generator automatically converted the target name and invoked `make SomeTarget`. This made the build command work even though make "$(pwd)/SomeTarget" would fail. This behavior was not implemented for any other generators, and does not make sense because `cmake --build` is supposed to be a thin wrapper around the native build tool. It has also been broken since commit 8d47a20f (cmOutputConverter: use new ConvertToRelativePath signature internally, 2016-06-16, v3.7.0-rc1~90^2~1) because cmState's relative path conversion logic is not initialized in `cmake --build`. Remove the non-functioning code.
