[Reproducible-builds] FontForge needs a new patch to learn about S_D_E

Our FontForge package is unused since quite some time.
While rebasing it wouldn't be hard, it actually needs some more work.

It has an "old" patch from Lunar from before the time we had the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH spec
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/fontforge.git/commit/?h=pu/reproducible_builds&id=c6142232851e5dfef008b336a6e2adeb382988f4

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;bug=774274;filename=0001-Add-SetModificationTime-function-to-scripting-langua.patch;att=1

As noted on that bug, it should instead learn about S_D_E and act
accordingly.

Some months ago I sent the other patch of ours upstream, and it has been
merged in a matter of 4 days with no problem at all, so I think it would
be great to have it done and incorporated upstream before having it sent
to the BTS.

Any takers?
