Currently version.o is explicitly ignored as the file would change as a result
of the orignal and the patched build having possibly different dates, times or
changeset strings (by the patched build appending -dirty).
Fix such difference by exporting the date and time from the build script, so
that both builds share the same build time. The changeset string gets set in
.scmversion, and is cleaned on script exit if it wasn't present initially. This
allows checking for changes in version.c, since the rest of fields need to be
manually changed in order to produce different output.
Setting XEN_BUILD_{DATE,TIME} as an environment variable and .scmversion has
been supported since before livepatch support was added to Xen, so it's safe to
export those variables unconditionally.

Otherwise I still get spurious version.o changes... With the 3 uses of that changed (can change during commit), Reviewed-by: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@citrix.com>

Please adjust on commit. Thanks, Roger.
