[PATCH v2 02/10] image.bbclass: fix non-reproducible file time-stamps inside rootfs

[Felix Moessbauer <felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>]

From: venkata pyla <venkata.pyla@toshiba-tsip.com>

As part of reproducible-build work, the rootfs images generated on same
source should be identical between two builds.

In this commit it tries to solve one of the non-reproducible problem
i.e. the rootfs file time-stamps generated during build time are not
reproducible, it uses one of the solution provided in the debian
live-build image project (refer [1]), it fixes by finding all the
files/folders that are gernerated newly and set the time-stamp provided
by `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable.
