[Reproducible-builds] Bug#774388: nano: please remove build date from online help

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that nano could not be built reproducibly.

The build date and time are currently recorded in order to be displayed
in the online help. We believe this information to be of little use in
the context of Debian, when similar information are available through
the package data and metadata. The attached patch simply removes the
build date from the online help.

Once applied, nano can be built reproducibly using the current
experimental framework.
