Peter Korsgaard 9239fc105e boot/arm-trusted-firmware: set BUILD_STRING to package version
TF-A prints a version string at boot which includes the version number as
specified in the Makefile and additional "build" information, specified by
the BUILD_STRING parameter:

https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/v2.9/getting_started/build-options.html

BUILD_STRING: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A build
to be uniquely identified.  Defaults to the current git commit id.

This is implemented as:

 # Default build string (git branch and commit)
 ifeq (${BUILD_STRING},)
	BUILD_STRING  :=  $(shell git describe --always --dirty --tags 2> /dev/null)
 endif

https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/Makefile#L225-L228

Which is never correct in the context of Buildroot, as the TF-A build
directory is never a git repo, and git will move up the directory tree and
possibly and (possibly) pick up the git version of Buildroot instead.

To fix that, explicitly set BUILD_STRING to the version of the package.
Pass it before BR2_TARGET_ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_ADDITIONAL_VARIABLES so it
can still be overridden by the user if needed.
