Fini Jastrow 725344def5 CI: Fix unneeded font rebuild commits
[why]
Despite commit
  cc2b54770 generate-original-source: Remove FFTM table
we still get unneeded font rebuilds.

The reason is that the font creation time is not only encoded in FFTM but
also in HEAD.

[how]
We could simply diable timestamps also in HEAD, but that would leave us
with a strange font; strange because no one knows when it has been
created.

Instead we take the more laberous route here: Do detect changes and not
rely on the git history:
* Find out current font's creation date
* Create the font anew with that date as creation date
* If the 'real' font content is unchanged we would now have a 100%
  identical new font file; we can detect that with `git diff`
* If it is not identical, something apart from the timestamp has
  changed and we create the font again, this time with the real current
  time as timestamp and commit that file back to the repo

This only works if creation and modification time are always the same on
all font creations; we need to ensure this by always using the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH method, even for 'normal' font creation.

This is a bit more involved than what I would have hoped for, but there
seems to be no easy solution.
