Subject: [PATCH] backends/on-machine: identify generator upfront in
 generate-vars

so far, `generate-vars` would identify prompted files, yet identify the generators only after prompts.
when one reuses files names across generators, that approach leaves implicit which generator `generate-vars` is prompting file contents for.
this PR addresses this by adding an echo line before any such prompts.
