build system: use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for timestamp if available
The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is an effort of the Reproducible Builds organization to make timestamps/build dates in compiled tools deterministic over several repetitive builds. Busybox shows by default the build date timestamp which changes whenever compiled. To have a reasonable accurate build date while staying reproducible, it's possible to use the *date of last source modification* rather than the current time and date. Further information on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH are available online [1]. This patch modifies `confdata.c` so that the content of the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH env variable is used as timestamp. To be independent of different timezones between builds, whenever SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is defined the GMT time is used.
