[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 2/2] Makefile: Add SOURCE_DATE_TZ

[Chris Packham]

Along with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH SOURCE_DATE_TZ can be used to recreate a
build with a specific date timestamp. This allows the verification of
source supplied with a pre-compiled binary.

If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is supplied SOURCE_DATE_TZ can be used to specify
what will appear in the output of the version command. If SOURCE_DATE_TZ
is not specified UTC will be used.  SOURCE_DATE_TZ on it's own will not
have an affect.

This is a quick proof of concept that allows some control of how the
timezone is displayed. Now you can do something like

  make SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=12345678 SOURCE_DATE_TZ=America/Los_Angeles

 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
