THRIFT-3193 Provide an option to use undated @Generated annotations The `@Generated` Java annotation has an optional date parameter. If this is generated by Thrift, then it becomes a bit of a pain to find the few generated files you care about and check them in (since everything will diff). We just auto-generate files and check them in, and this would result in commits with every file changing. This patch allows us to disable the date annotation when generating.
