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.
