[Reproducible-builds] Bug#762433: lsof: please stop capturing environment information during the build process

Hi!

As part of the “reproducible builds” project, we have identified that
lsof build process captured too much information about its build
environment. This unfortunately prevents lsof from building
reproducibly.

The attached patch will make lsof builds reproducible by preventing
username, hostname, kernel version, and build time from being captured
as part of the build process. For build time, a patch over upstream code
is added to allow LSOF_CCDATE to be preset by an environment variable,
just like LSOF_HOST and others.
