Bug#975954: amavisd-milter: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because it was generating the Autotools PACKAGE_VERSION from
the current date which then was embedded in the binary.

Patch attached that exports AMAVISD_MILTER_VERSION from debian/changelog
instead as upstream's configure.ac supports this.
