[Reproducible-builds] Bug#762397: libgpg-error: please do not capture the current time during the build process

Hi!

As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], it was detected that
libgpg-error could not be built reproducibly.

The build process capture the time of the build. This piece of
information is not really helpful to anyone and prevents the build
process from being deterministic.

The attached patch will instead use the time of the latest
debian/changelog entry. Once applied, libgpg-error can be built
reproducibly! :)
