kbuild: override build timestamp & version

Introduce KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION to make it possible to override kernel build version during build time. Introduce KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP to make it possible to override kernel build timestamp during build time. But variables are useful mainly by distros that want to pass info from an SCM when building the kernel. Timestamp could be last checkin date for a file etc. The idea came from Olaf Hering <[email protected]> Cc: Olaf Hering <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <[email protected]>
