This commit adds a new script to create a string in tmp file with
some information (date, linux version, user). This file is then used by
dtc with -B option to append dts file with a new property.
During kernel boot it will then be possible to printout DTB build
information (date, linux version used, user).

This specific set of information does not seem to me to be sufficient
to be of much use.  In my previous attempt to capture build time
information into the DTB I included more information that this,
which I felt provided more of the information that would be valuable
to a developer (or testing person) in a development environment,
test environment, or on an end user system.  The exact set of
information is easy to bike shed over, but one could explain what
information might be useful and why (I did not provide that explanation
in my patch series, but in retrospect should have).

The indentation should be tabs instead of spaces.

A nit, the trailing period is not needed.  Not a big deal one way
or the other.

On reflection, this information is sufficient.  My concern was that a
unique version number was not provided.  But the unique version number
_is_ provided by the date, which is hh:mm:ss, so sufficient if the
dtb is not compiled more often than once per second.  So good enough
for the debugging environment.
