Bug#890027: librsvg: please make the output reproducible

Source: librsvg
Version: 2.40.20-2

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that rsvg-convert does not create reproducible output.

This is because it calls cairo_pdf_surface_create_for_stream
without setting a modification time, thus leading to the current
date always being generated.

Patch attached.

(An alternative patch *could* use the creation time of the input
file, but this would be misleading metadata when applied to the
output - it was not created at the same time as the input.)
