Correct description of ":=" and "=" operators 

The description of the ":=" and "=" assignment operators were flipped. As documented in the GNU make manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Reading-Makefiles), the ":=" assignment operatory is the immediate assignment operation and "=" is the deferred assignment operation. This change switches the descriptions to correspond to the correct operator and augments the description to clarify the behaviour.

## Var assignment
```makefile
uglify = $(uglify) # assignment
compressor := $(uglify) # lazy assignment
uglify = $(uglify) # assignment (right hand side is evaluated when variable is used)
compressor := $(uglify) # immediate assignment (right hand side is evaluated at assignment)
prefix ?= /usr/local # safe assignment
