qapi: Touch generated files only when they change

A massive number of objects depends on QAPI-generated headers.  In my
"build everything" tree, it's roughly 4800 out of 5100.  This is
particularly annoying when only some of the generated files change,
say for a doc fix.

Improve qapi-gen.py to touch its output files only if they actually
change.  Rebuild time for a QAPI doc fix drops from many minutes to a
few seconds.  Rebuilds get faster for certain code changes, too.  For
instance, adding a simple QMP event now recompiles less than 200
instead of 4800 objects.  But adding a QAPI type is as bad as ever;
we've clearly got more work to do.
