[Reproducible-builds] Bug#820932: fim: please make the build reproducible (fileordering, timestamps, locale)

Dear Maintainer,

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

The attached patch fixes the order in which files are joined in header
files, strips the build date from fim binary, makes the embeded vim2html
script honour the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable when building
the documentation, and force language to be English when using bison to
make a grammar that is going to be parsed using English keywords. Once
applied, fim can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.

Regards,
Alexis Bienvenüe.
