scons,python: Stop importing some values in m5.defines.

The compileDate and gem5Version fields are used in only one place,
gem5's python main function. These fields are the remaining difference
between the "fake" defines.py provided by the SimObject importer, and
the real one composed later. It makes sense to exclude them in the
"fake" version since those values come from c++, but it would feel like
an arbitrary and unexpected difference to people trying to use it.
