[bug #59658] xgettext and msginit don't honor SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

[Miguel Ángel Arruga Vivas]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #59658 (project gettext):

The v2 adds changes a bit the interface of po_strftime in order to provide the
UTC field, fixes the missing call to time/localtime on msginit and adds two
new tests to the test suite: msginit-5 and xgettext-17.

xgettext-17 takes, unless skipped, at least one minute to complete in order to
ensure that the output differs when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH isn't provided but stays
the same when the value is the same, even when the wall clock has changed
enough.  Is this time requirement acceptable?  It also checks that the output
is controlled by the variable and the program doesn't emit a fixed timestamp;
it could be reduced to only that use case if deemed appropriate.
