In #376 a new step was introduced for local builds to undo changes
to the version.dtsi file after a build in order to reduce noise to the repo.
Unfortunately the way used to execute the step causes the version.dtsi
file to be reset too early and therefore causes an incorrect version
number to be used for the version macro when run locally. This went
unfortunately undiscovered as the checked in version.dtsi was the same
on the day the change in #376 was tested and was not noticed until
I build a new change to my keymap locally a few days ago.
The git command introduced in #376 is wrapped into a shell function.
However what was missed is that commands run by the shell function are run when
the function calls are expanded by make. This causes the version.dtsi file to be reset
before the firmware build process is even started which resultes in the version.dtsi
currently checked in to the repo to be used for local builds instead of the
newly generated file when make starts.
This change updates how the git command to reset the version.dtsi
is being called. It is no longer called within a shell function to ensure it
does run in the order it is defined after the firmware build is complete.
Builds run through GitHub actions are not impacted and always used the correct version.dtsi

- Enhance the Makefile to enable firmware building exclusively for the left side.
To modify the keymap, flashing only the left side's firmware suffices.
This change facilitates the creation of firmware for the left side only,
thereby expediting the build process.
Usage: make left
This update maintains existing functionality. Without specifying the
left target, firmware for both halves will be generated.
- Add separate make targets to clean firmware and docker image
Add targets clean_firmware and clean_image independently while maintaing clean to run both
- Ensure files modified by the build process are reset at the end
The current build process dynamically generates the content of the version macro
in config/version.dtsi to enable users to print out the precise version and commit
the firmware was built on via a keybinding on the keymap.
This change ensurs that the changes to this macro file are reset at the end of the
build process to ensure it isn't shown as modified and added to keymap commit changes.
* Prefer `tr` to ${char^^}, which does not work on older bash versions
* Update CHANGELOG.md

* Version compiled FW with hash
Auto generates a macro to type out version info, local and github compilation now includes commit hash and timestamp in final uf2 files
* Fix local builds
makefile doesn't like the script returning the macro, directed to null for local builds as version.dtsi file accessible
