in order to make builds reproducible.
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good
and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch
for the definition of this variable.

Also use UTC to be independent of timezone.
This date call is designed to work with all variants of date.

Without this patch, builds of
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/science/lal always varied
even when nothing changed.

This PR was done while working on reproducible builds for openSUSE.
