Hi,

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

This is because the Python package's version embeds the current date,
which then ends up in filenames and file contents. For example:

                                                                                \\\\////

       +++ ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinxcontrib_googleanalytics-0.4.dev20260406.dist-info/METADATA

      Summary: Sphinx extension googleanalytics

(Note the change of filename, too.)

Patch attached.
