build: remove GNU time dependency

Replace the GNU time program invocation with a simple Perl script reporting
the timing values. Since we require Perl anyway for the build system, we can
as well use that instead of requiring a random GNU utility rarely installed
by default.

Fixes: ff6e62b288 ("build: log time taken by each packages/steps")
