Bug#783146: mapserver: please make the build reproducible

Source: mapserver
Version: 6.4.1-5

Hi!

While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have
noticed that mapserver doesn't build reproducibly.
During build the current date is embedded into the manpages.

The attached patch uses the date from the latest changelog entry
inside the manpages.

Regards,
 Reiner
