Hi!

liblcms will currently always use the current time to set the creation
time in profile headers. In the context of the “Reproducible Builds”
effort [1], this will prevent colord from building its profiles
bit-for-bit identical, despite having the exact same source.

The attached patch adds cmsSetHeaderCreationDateTime() to allow clients
to set an explicit creation date/time for a profile.
