Allow overriding the compile time in "perl -V" output
The C preprocessor macros __DATE__ and __TIME__ embed the compile time
into the binary for the purposes of "perl -V" output. This makes the
build unreproducible: compiling the same source with the same toolchain
cannot be made to yield bitwise identical binaries and other generated
files.
The compile time can now be overridden with the PERL_BUILD_DATE macro.
