Bug#862195: sendip: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that sendip could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it uses an embedded copy of help2man which does
not support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.

Patch attached to use the Debian-supplied one (which it should be
doing anyway, I suppose...)
