Description:

zssh is almost reproducible thanks to the patch sent by kpcyrd two years ago [1].

The patch doesn't set up the timezone and locale, so the package is marked as unreproducible by archlinux-repro because, even though SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is used correctly, the format differs: the current package in the mirrors embed the date in AM/PM format, while the one obtained using archlinux-repro is in 24h format.

I copy here the relevant part from the diffoscope output [2]:

```
- 1.5c , built Fri May 7 07:53:27 PM UTC 2021
+ 1.5c , built Fri May 7 19:53:27 UTC 2021
```

I think this can be avoided following the recommendation from the R-B website [3]. I attach my proposal as a diff of the latest commit.


Steps to reproduce:

curl -OL https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/z/zssh/zssh-1.5c-13-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
repro -d zssh-1.5c-13-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
