build system: use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for timestamp if available

Browse Source 
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.
