Timestamps in file data are useless and there is already one in .config

hum, shouldn't this be tunable via KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP ? This might be
useful to know when the file was generated, independently of the
.config, as conf_write() and conf_write_autoconf() are independent
from one another.

Yeah, but ls -l include/generated/autoconf.h will tell you the same,
won't it?

Not if the file is spread to other machine/fs. Not that I care much
though, but for consistency, either KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP is honored in
every places where timestamps are used, or it should be killed
altogether.

Or we kill the timestamps in the other places :). auto.conf and
autoconf.h are "internal" files, .config is the file supplied and edited
by the user and I can see that some might find the embedded timestamp
useful. But I doubt that anyone needs the timestamp in auto.conf and
autoconf.h.
