There's no need to include the build time, author, and copyright info
in the output of "fscrypt --version". This information is:

  • Overly complex (the current string is hard to parse)
  • Inaccurate (there are other authors than just me)
  • Unnecessary (the Apache 2 license is for Source Code)
  • Makes reproducible builds impossible (fixes Build isn't reproducible #206)

The default version string is just fine.

I don't know if this makes the build of fscrypt now 100% reproducible. I ran two runs of make at different times on the same computer and got the same sha256sums. But on different computers (both Arch Linux, go-pie 1.14.1) I still got different sha256sums.
