Update date in version.in automatically.

The build system now updates the date in bfd/version.h automatically.

The build system increments the date in bfd/version.h. This change avoids manual updates for each build.

In Details

The build system now automatically updates the BFD_VERSION_DATE macro in bfd/version.h. This ensures the date is current for each build.

For Context

The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library is part of binutils and provides a uniform interface to different object file formats. It includes versioning information used when programs are built. This commit updates the date automatically.
