Bug#996881: pikepdf: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because the documentation has an embedded example that shows
the repr(..) of an object which, as it happens, includes the current
build date, rendering the package unreproducible.

Patch attached that assigns this to a variable instead of including
it in the output. It should not affect the usefulness of this example.
