[RFC PATCH 3/3] scripts: Use -B dtc option to generate dtb build information.

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).
