python: add release filtering by SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

James Addison requested to merge (removed):bug-1085112/release-filter-source-date-epoch into main

This patch adapts the Python distro_info module to filter distro releases based on the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable, when configured.

The patch is offered to support deterministic (reproducible) output despite varying system clock times when invoked, in turn supporting reproducible builds for packages that depend on distro-info's Python functionality at build-time.

Only the default filter date value is affected; code paths that filter releases by specifying a filtering date by-argument are unaffected.

Closes: #1085112

(note: I forgot to add a Closes: #.... line to the commit message. please let me know if I should edit/amend that!)
