Dear Maintainer,

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that some packages (like lua-posix) use LDoc in their building process,
resulting in timestamps in documentation files that break reproducibility.

To solve this kind of issues, it would be nice to have LDoc support
the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable [2].

See the attached patch for a solution to this issue.

Regards,
Alexis Bienvenüe.
