[Reproducible-builds] Bug#820226: chrony: please make the build reproducible (timestamps)

Dear Maintainer,

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

The attached patch uses the last changelog entry date instead of the
build date to set the ntp_era_split default parameter. Once applied,
chrony can be built reproducibly in our current experimental framework.

Regards,
Alexis Bienvenüe.
