Hi,

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

This is because it embeds a timestamp via CMake. As the timestamp is
not very useful in this particular context (it is positioned next to 
an "unknown" Git commit), a patch is attached that simply replaces
the entire thing with a string that denotes that the binary is from
the Debian package.
