Add support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for TestMan #376

Closed anthonyfok closed 4 months ago

This stems from of Marina Moore’s (@mnm678) excellent work on adding SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for reproducible builds in PR #285, and has been extended by Jelmer Vernooij (@jelmer) such that TestMan in help_test.go would not fail when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set to a date different from today, e.g.:

$ SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=1630000000 go test ./...

I became aware of this issue when this failed test was reported by Lucas Nussbaum (@lnussbaum) for the golang-github-itchyny-go-flags package (https://github.com/itchyny/go-flags fork) in Debian Bug#997553.
