Hi,

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

A fairly invasive patch is attached that drops a bunch of references
to __DATE__ and __TIMESTAMP__, etc. Not sure about the removal of the
cache version/date routines, but this did not feel very reliable to
begin with... but I am not in the best position to know.
