Makefile: Add U_BOOT_TZ and include in version

Define U_BOOT_TZ alongside U_BOOT_TIME and U_BOOT_DATE and use it to
include the timezone in the version output.

Before this commit I have: U-Boot 2015.07-00345-g9c57487 (Jul 31 2015 - 10:49:31 +0800)

After this commit I have: U-Boot 2015.07-00346-gf3f431a (Jul 31 2015 - 02:50:54 +0000)

As you see: the timezone information is missing, and U-Boot's timestamp is now GMT+0 (the correct one should be GMT+8)

Is this intended behavior? Or if not, please fix it.

I notice the same behavior here and I agree it would be nice to fix this.

Thanks
