doc: set actual revdate for manpages
manpages expect the date of the last revision, if that is not found DocBook Stylesheets go through a series of hacks to generate one with the format `%d/%d/%Y` which is not ideal. In addition to this format not being standard, different tools generate dates with different formats. There's no need for any confusion if we specify the revision date, so let's do so.
