If BUILD_TAG is part of KBUILD_CFLAGS, then any time the value changes,
all files get rebuilt. In a continuous integration environment, the value
will change every build. This wastes time assuming that incremental
builds would otherwise occur.

To solve this, remove BUILD_TAG from KBUILD_FLAGS and add it to the end of
"local version".

This has other advantages too:
- The special case for BUILD_TAG in display_options.c can be removed.
- The version printed by the "version" command exactly matches what is
   printed at boot.

Old sign-on message:
U-Boot 2016.03-rc1-00044-g4085db5e767b (Feb ...), Build: bar-bas

New sign-on message:
U-Boot 2016.03-rc1-00044-g4085db5e767b-bar-baz (Feb ...)

I would urge this not be done. The display of the BUILD_TAG on startup is pretty useful in my environment. It's been there for a long time and some of my users have grown used to it.

Of all the parts of the sign-on message, I'd rather the git hash go away than the BUILD_TAG. None of my users really care about the level of detail of the git hash and won't spend the time required to use this hash to determine if they have the version they want. (Some don't have a repo clone, and don't care to, and so can't easily make the correspondence even if they wanted to).

Thanks for your consideration.

Jim
