    drm/amd/display: Add DC build_id to determine build type

    [why]
    Sometimes there are indications that the incorrect driver is being
    loaded in automated tests. This change adds the ability for builds to
    be tagged with a string, and picked up by the test infrastructure.

    [how]
    dc.c will allocate const for build id, which is init-ed with default
    value, indicating production build. For test builds, build server will
    find/replace this value. The test machine will then verify this value.

It seems DC_BUILD_ID is used by the build server, so maybe we should keep it.
