Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
libpsl could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the manual page embeds the current build date. The
attached patch generates these values from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, if it
exists.

Patch attached that modifies both the Autotools and Meson.build parts,
even though I don't think the Meson build system is used right now.
