fakedate: new package `date' is widely used by packages to include build information in their binaries. Unfortunately, this is incompatible with BR2_REPRODUCIBLE. Instead of having to identify all `date' invocations in the different packages, this commit adds a small tool that allows to always return the same date. This work was sponsored by `BA Robotic Systems'.
