Bug 215621: editors/openoffice-4: mild attempt to make the build reproducible

patch to improve reproducibility

No claims about reproducibility yet but I found two cases where AOO
embeds the date in the executables.

- Include a patch from upstream that removes some embedded __DATE__/__TIME__
stamps.
- Use the portname and revision for --with-build-version to avoid embedding the
build date in the "About" dialog, as is done by default.

For the record, I tried to use ${PKGNAME} instead of ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}
but that would break the build.
