Bug#1098945: pkg-rocm-tools: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because the generated manual page contains values based on the
number of CPUs and amount of RAM on the system:

│ │ │ ├── ./usr/share/man/man1/rocm-qemu-run.1.gz
│ │ │ │ │  .TP
│ │ │ │ │  \fB\-m\fR MEM
│ │ │ │ │ -Guest RAM (default: 60301)
│ │ │ │ │ +Guest RAM (default: 60312)
│ │ │ │ │  .HP

Patch attached that changes the output to deterministic text values —
they remain dynamic defaults, however.
