[antlr-interest] Unnecessary Java output file diffs

[Sam Harwell]

"timestamp" works for the timestamp, but not for the line/column numbers
throughout. That is the type of option I'm referring to though.

Would we make it two options, or find a name that means something for
both items?

Changing the template means they have to do it for every release though,

which is probably a pain. I like that latter idea actually, probably 
better than options { timestamp = false; } as then you can make it hold 
whatever you like.
