update/release: if *GNU* tar, use --mtime
with --mtime, files added to the archive can be set to a static date (in this case, the unix epoch) the one used here is derived from git commit dates, and it is static; if not being handled in lbmk.git, the versiondate file never changes this is the first patch in a series of patches designed to bring about reproducible builds in libreboot a solution will need to be found, for non-GNU tar implementations, because they did not have an equivalent option according to their manpages. for example, BSD tar implementations. perhaps i could systematically go around changing file dates, on each file, as a fallback behaviour?
