[Reproducible-builds] Bug#820668: sawfish: please make the build reproducible (fileordering, timestamps, username, hostname)

Dear Maintainer,

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

The attached patch fixes the order in which files are included in the
theme tgz files, strips hostname and username from the config.h file,
and honours SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH when creating the config.h file. Once
applied, sawfish can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.

Regards,
Alexis Bienvenüe.
