    Stamps the main version and the build date into the assembly that hosts MsdialBuildIdentity.

    Opt-in via MsdialEmitBuildIdentity rather than applied to every project, because this runs once
    per project per target framework and only one assembly is ever read for the answer.

    The commit id is NOT stamped here. SourceLink already writes it into
    AssemblyInformationalVersion for every SDK-style project that leaves GenerateAssemblyInfo on —
    verified as "1.0.0+<40 hex>" in the generated AssemblyInfo.cs — so asking git again here would
    add a build-time dependency on the git executable in exchange for a value already present.

    The date is the BUILD date, not the commit date, and the difference is worth stating: two builds
    of one commit carry the same commit id and different dates. The commit id is the exact identity;
    the date is what a person reads and what the update check orders against a release's
    published_at.
