| make(1): inline LPAREN in parse.c

| It's shorter and more readable, and the other characters don't have

Most likely the reason for that was for parentheses matching editors.
Using '(' creates a ( that (a non C syntax savvy) editor will match
against the next (otherwise unmatched) ')' it finds. LPAREN doesn't
have that effect. An alternative is to add a /*)*/ comment on the line,
but that starts getting obtrusive, and difficult to justify.
