    Avoid overwriting unchanged output files in genbki.pl and Gen_fmgrtab.pl. · 1f1cd9b5

    If a particular output file already exists with the contents it should
    have, leave it alone, so that its mod timestamp is not advanced.
    
    In builds using --enable-depend, this can avoid the need to recompile .c
    files whose included files didn't actually change.  It's not clear whether
    it saves much of anything for users of ccache; but the cost of doing the
    file comparisons seems to be negligible, so we might as well do it.
    
    For developers using the MSVC toolchain, this will create a regression:
    msvc/Solution.pm will sometimes run genbki.pl or Gen_fmgrtab.pl
    unnecessarily.  I'll look into fixing that separately.
