Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that rsvg-convert does not create reproducible output.

This is because it calls cairo_pdf_surface_create_for_stream
without setting a modification time, thus leading to the current
date always being generated.

Patch attached.

(An alternative patch *could* use the creation time of the input
file, but this would be misleading metadata when applied to the
output - it was not created at the same time as the input.)

Upstream merged your patch, although for now it's only available in
versions in experimental (because we still have release architectures
without Rust support).
