Subject: Support defining compilation date in $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

There is an ongoing effort[0] to make FOSS software reproducibly
buildable.  In order to make Vim build reproducibly, it is necessary to
allow defining the date/time that is part of VIM_VERSION_LONG as part of
the build process.

This commit enables that by adding support for the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
spec[1].  When the $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is defined,
it will be used to populate the BUILD_DATE preprocessor define.

If BUILD_DATE is not defined, the existing behavior of relying on the
preprocessor's __DATE__/__TIME__ symbols will be used.
