[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2 next] toolchain/wrapper: fake __DATE_ and __TIME__ for older gcc

Starting with verison 7, gcc will automatically recognise and enforce
the environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, and will fake __DATE__ and
__TIME__ accordingly, to produce reproducible builds (at least in
regards to date and time).

However, older gcc versions (i.e. all so far) do not offer this feature.

So, we use our toolchain wrapper to force-feed __DATE__ and __TIME_ as
macros, that will take precedence over those that gcc may compute
itself. We compute them according to the specs:
    https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
    https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Standard-Predefined-Macros.html

Since we define macros otherwise internal to gcc, we have to tell it not
to warn about that. The -Wno-builtin-macro-redefined flag was introduced
in gcc-4.4.0, which is old enough now that we can consider that all
toolchains we care about will support that flag.

Note however: the behaviour of gcc-7 when __DATE__ and __TIME__ are
user-defined and SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is also set is as yet unknown.
Whether the user-defined macros take precedence over the internal
computations in gcc, or whether gcc ignores the user-defined macros and
enforce them from the value of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is of no consequence:
that would yield the exact same end result, to use the date and time set
in SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
