build: support reproducible builds with consistent man pages
Use a consistent date in the generated man pages
even if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not set.
* Makefile.am: Generate .timestamp in the tarball.
* man/local.mk: Pass .timestamp if available to help2man.
* man/dummy-man: Don't bother with the year in the stub.
