Merge bitcoin#23862: build, qt: Hardcode last modified timestamp in Qt RCC
11736db build, qt: Hardcode last modified timestamp in Qt RCC (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Our Guix build system sets the [`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`](https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/) and propagates it to the depends build subsystem. Its [default value](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/guix/README.md#recognized-environment-variables) is the top commit timestamp.
After bumping Qt version up to 5.15.2, due to [this](qt/qtbase@1ffcca4) change, every time they are going to make new Guix builds for another branch/commit they must ensure that the `qt` package will be rebuilt from scratch. Otherwise, Bitcoin Core GUI binaries will be non-deterministic.
Such behavior makes working with Guix builds suboptimal.
This PR fixes the described issue by patching Qt RCC and hardcoding last modified timestamps with `1`.
It's worth to mention that this change is compatible with a possible future [improvement](bitcoin#21995) which makes each dependency package reproducible.
A drawback of such an approach is not currently applied to our project, as it effectively makes [QML cache files](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-57182) useless. I can't say it's a problem for the https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui-qml project.

**A note for thinkers:** For now this change is enough as only Qt source contains `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`. But in general we should re-think about treating the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` variable in the depends build subsystem. For instance, its default value could be the output of `git log --format=%at -1 -- depends`.
