[BusyBox] bug#1147: Getting rid of date --utc

Wouldn't it be simpler to change from "date --utc" to "date -u"?

There is a noticable difference between __DATE__ and $(date),
in that one is consistent for all files built by a single
make run, and one is not.  I prefer consistency.

I think we are a long way from having busybox complete enough
to self-host a build.  I don't think that's the objective, either.

You do point out some code duplication.  How about re-working
klogd and syslogd to use full_version?  That would guarantee
self-consistency of all busybox apps, and I might even acquiesce
to using __DATE__"-"__TIME__ in messages.c.
