Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
goldendict-ng could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it does not specify the "UTC" argument to CMake's
TIMESTAMP macro function, so the build time embedded in the final
binary, whilst based on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, varies by the build
timezone.

Patch attached.
