Bug#864082: fontconfig: please make the cache files reproducible

Hi,

since this bug has not seen maintainer action for several months now and
because fontconfig is one of the last remaining bits that make a
Priority:Standard chroot unreproducible, I'd like to propose to NMU fontconfig
with the attached patch.

Essentially, I took the patch by Chris Lamb and modified it so that
uuid_generate_sha1() will be used if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set. The original
behaviour is retained without SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH being set. This should be the
solution with zero impact on normal installations while making those
installations that care (like reproducible chroot or image creation)
reproducible.

If I don't get a NACK from you on this, I plan to upload to DELAYED/10 in two
weeks.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
