util/board_status: Use capture and not commit time

Currently the directory structure is

<vendor>/<board>/<revision>/<timestamp>

where the time stamp is the commit date. This does not allow to upload
    results for the same commit and same board with different configuration.
    The hardware could differ, for example the used processor, or the
    configuration of coreboot or the used payload or its configuration.

Also it is theoretically possible, though not very easy to achieve with
    the current Gerrit workflow, that two commits have the same commit date.

So instead of using the date of the commit simply use the date of
    running the script `board_status.sh`.

<vendor>/<board>/<revision>/<time_now>

In theory that could still give collisions, but the chances of two
    people having the same board running coreboot build from the same commit
    and running `board_status.sh` at the same time are very low.

Getting the current time is not easy, as the interface of `date` is not
    standardized, though `date -u` probably should work the same. As
    `getrevision.sh` already takes care of the formatting, pass the
    non-tracked file `/bin/true` to `getrevision.sh`, which causes it to
    return the current time properly formatted. Get rid of the resulting
    warning

Warning: Path "/bin/true" is not under version control.

by removing the line from `getrevision.sh`.
