Make the build reproducible
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
mate-desktop could not be built reproducibly.
This is is because it generated a "release year" etc. based on the current
build date which was embedded in the binary and possibly other files. A
patch attached that uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH [1] instead.
As a side-effect, this fixes the (accidental) reset of MATE_DATE in the
Autotools build system in inherited from mate-desktop-environment.git.
This was originally filed in Debian as #951357 [2].
