Use the solution described in [1] to provide a wrapper to the 'date'
command that uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if available. This is needed for
reproducible builds.
The -d "@..." syntax was introduced in GNU date about 2005 (but only
added to the docuemntation in 2011), so I assume a version supporting
this syntax is available, if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is defined. If
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not defined, nothing changes with respect to the
current behavior.
Update all users of 'date' in the tree to use the new wrapper.

Not having ppc and riscv included in DOC_ARCHES causes "multiple
definitions of ..." message on documentation build, similar to the
example shown below:
include/public/arch-ppc.h:91: multiple definitions of Typedef
vcpu_guest_core_regs_t: include/public/arch-arm.h:300
include/public/arch-ppc.h:91: multiple definitions of Typedef
vcpu_guest_core_regs_t: include/public/arch-ppc.h:85
It can also make the generated html documentation link to the header
files of another architecture. This is additionally a problem as it can
randomly make the documentation build non-reproducible.

The objdump output is fed to grep, so make sure it doesn't change with
different user locales and break the grep parsing.
This problem was identified while updating xen in Debian and the fix is
needed for generating reproducible builds in varying environments.

This was found by the lintian tool (Debian package checker) during
packaging xen for Debian.

When the seq number is equal, sort by the title to get predictable
output ordering. This is useful for reproducible builds.

By default a timestamp gets added to the xen efi binary. Unfortunately
ld doesn't seem to provide a way to set a custom date, like from
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, so set a zero value for the timestamp (option
--no-insert-timestamp) if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is defined. This makes
reproducible builds possible.
This is an alternative to the patch suggested in [1]. This patch only
omits the timestamp when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is defined.
