Change the default behaviour of the PE targeted linker so that timestamps are
inserted. This is for compatibility with other, non-GNU tools. Deterministic binaries can still be created by using the new --no-insert-timestamp command line option. * emultempl/pe.em: Initialise insert_timestamp to true. Add a --no-insert-timestamp command line option. * emultempl/pep.em: Likewise. * ld.texinfo: Document that --insert-timestamp is enabled by default and that it now has an inverse command line option. * NEWS: Mention the new behaviour.
