Bug#1123002: graudit: please make the build reproducible

Source: graudit
Version: 3.9-3

Hi,

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

This is because the testsuite updated the modification times of a
number of .db files in the package, meaning that if the tests are
skipped (ie. via "nocheck"), then the package will differ in 
this metadata.

A patch is attached that sets the mtime of these files to a
deterministic value regardless of whether the tests are run or not.
