Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] I noticed that
jalview could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the .build_properties file generated in the
debian/write_build_properties_file.sh.in script did not generate
output that ignored the current timezone. Patch attached that adds
--utc to the date(1) calls which makes the build reproducible for me.
