Build metadata (username, hostname, etc.) prevents the FreeBSD kernel
from building reproducibly. Add an option to disable inclusion of that
metadata but retain the release information and SVN/git VCS details.
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for additional background.

One reason the kernel does not build reproducibly is that it includes
a timestamp in the version string. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH provides a standard
method to address this: it should be set to the last modification time
of the source, and build processes use the specified timestamp instead
of the "current" date and time.
This change uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it is set; how it gets set needs
to be addressed elsewhere.

Because of how osreldate.h was being built with newvers.sh, which always
spat out a vers.c dependent on SVN or git, the meta mode build was
considering osreldate.h to depend on the current git or SVN index. This
would lead to entire tree rebuilds when modifying git's index. There's
no reason to be generating vers.c here so just skip it.
While here, in mk-osreldate.sh rename PARAM_H to proper PARAMFILE (which
newvers.sh already has a default for) and remove unneeded export.

newvers.sh. Pass it in from include/Makefile. If it isn't passed in,
fall back to the old logic of using dirname $0.
Using dirname $0 does not yield the path to the script if it was
sourced in from another script in another directory; you end up with
the parent script's path. That was causing newvers.sh to look one
level below the FreeBSD src/ directory when building osreldate.h and it
may find something like a git or svn repo there that has nothing to do
with FreeBSD.

was used to check out the tree. If an incompatible version
is used, the svn revision number is not reported in uname(1).
Run ${svnversion} on newvers.sh itself when evaluating if the
svn(1) in use is compatible with the tree. Fallback to an
empty ${svnversion} if necessary.
With this change, svnliteversion from base is only used
if no compatible svnversion is found, so with this change,
the version of svn(1) from the ports tree is evaluated first.

or some variation in the path, the new version assumes that $0 is
newvers.sh path, and that dirname $0/.. is the same as $S aka $SYSDIR.
It also removes knowledge of ${MACHINE} and ${MACHINE_ARCH}, which is
also good.
