Removes mentions of compilation date to support reproducibility

Hello, I am posting this report to further the agenda of reproducible builds
(wiki.freebsd.org/ReproducibleBuilds)

In this particular port, the display_version function in abcm2ps.c specifies
date of compilation time, which causes this port to not be reproducible when
built.

Removal of the date from the aforementioned function enables this build to be
reproducible.
