doc: doc-diff: specify date
Earlier we changed the manual page formatting machinery to use the dates from the commit the documentation source was taken from, instead of the date the manual page was produced. When "doc-diff" compares two commits from different dates, the different dates from the two commits would result in unnecessary differences in the output because of the change. Compensate by setting a fixed date when "doc-diff" formats the pages to be compared to work around this issue.
