configury: make build Reproducible

If defined, use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable; make the build
Reproducible by forcing timestamps.  See
https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/ for more
information.

Thanks Bernhard M. Wiedemann for bringing this to our attention.

Fixes open-mpi/ompi#3759

 - Open MPI has taken some steps towards Reproducible Builds
   (https://reproducible-builds.org/).  Specifically, Open MPI's
-  "configure" and "make" process, by default, records some
-  system-specific information such as the hostname where Open MPI was
-  built and the username who built it.  If you desire a Reproducible
-  Build, set the $USER and $HOSTNAME environment variables before
-  invoking "configure" and "make", and Open MPI will use those values
-  instead of invoking "whoami" and/or "hostname", respectively.
