utils: gen-version: Use posix compliant date

The version string of libcamera is presently appended with a date/time
argument in the case of a dirty tree to show further detail of when it
was built. This string is generated with the iso-8601 parameter to
'date' and produces a date string in the form:
"2024-06-17T22:15:30+01:00"

Strict posix shells or implementations of 'date' which may be optimised
for size such as the one provided by busybox or Alpine Linux may not
support the '--iso-8601' flag.

To support builds on those platforms, use a direct POSIX-compliant
date-format string instead matching as closely as possible to the
iso-8601 definition.

An exact match is not possible with those restrictions so 'date
%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%Z' is used which produces 2024-06-17T22:15:30BST.

The use of the human readable timezone identifier provides a friendlier
output for the string than a timezone offset at the expense of being
less sortable in the exceptionally low risk and unlikely event of two
custom builds being compared at the same time of different timezones.
