[OE-core] [PATCH 6/9] xserver-xorg: remove embedded build path in the source

The generated source file sdksyms.c has a comment with the absolute build path,
which means xserver-xorg-src contains this build path.  This is both potential
build information leakage and a source of unreproducibility, so remove the
comment.

+sdksyms.sh: don't embed the build path
+
+This script generates a header that has a comment containing the build path for
+no real reason.  As this source can end up deployed on targets in debug packages
+this means there is both potentially sensitive information leakage about the
+build environment, and a source of change for reproducible builds.
