automake 1.15 uses a bundled version of help2man from 2012 that does not support the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable. This means that the build date is included in the generated documentation, breaking reproducibility. This changes adds the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support from the current help2man to the version bundled in automake 1.15.
