tools: ynl-gen: don't touch the output file if content is the same
I often regenerate all YNL files in the tree to make sure they are in sync with the codegen and specs. Generator rewrites the files unconditionally, so since make looks at file modification time to decide what to rebuild - my next build takes longer. We already generate the code to a tempfile most of the time, only overwrite the target when we have to.
