Subject: [PATCH] [core] Move build_info_data.h out of application.h to fix
 incremental rebuilds

build_info_data.h contains ESPHOME_BUILD_TIME which changes every build.
Since application.h included it, changing any source file caused
build_info_data.h to be rewritten (via sources_changed), which then
triggered a rebuild of every file that includes application.h.

Move all build_info_data.h dependent code from application.h inline
methods to application.cpp, so only application.cpp recompiles when
build info changes.
