[Reproducible-builds] Bug#795975: unoconv: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

The attached patch sets the timezone to UTC before calling asciidoc to
avoid timezone differences in the generated docs. Once applied, unoconv
can be builtreproducibly in our current experimental framework.
