Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that geoip-database could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch sets the embedded timestamp to the date from the
latest changelog entry and normalizes the used timezone to UTC.
Once applied, geoip-database can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.

Regards,
 Reiner
