Use the GNU 'date' command to auto-generate a new U-Boot
timestamp on every compile.
Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I noticed that the build time of U-Boot was not updated on every
compile which occassionally threw me for a loop as to whether
a new U-Boot binary was programmed, etc. This patch updates
a U_BOOT_DATE define on every compile which can then be used
in place of the multiple "__DATE__ - __TIME__" preprocessor
macros that are currently used.
This also ensures the timestamp will be the same for a board
if it uses __TIME__ in multiple files.
Let me know if this would be accepted into mainline and I'll
generate a formal patch updating all __DATE__/__TIME__
references.
