The --no-generation-date flag is a common re2c flag used in all re2c
invocations. This adds the 2nd optional argument to PHP_PROG_RE2C M4
macro in BC manner to set the default re2c command-line options and sets
the default RE2C_FLAGS similarly on Windows.
This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final
newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines.
According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.
C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."
Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

Since PHP 5.3 the default lexer generator is RE2C. On Unix-alike build
systems there is also optional configure option --enable-re2c-cgoto
which enables optimized conditional jumps using non-standard computed
goto extension. It is available since RE2C 0.10.3 so it's well covered
by RE2C versions PHP uses. This patch syncs usage of -g option accross
the PHP Unix-alike build system.
