Put the current date in the 'From COMMIT DATE' header line instead of using
the fixed date 'Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001'. A DATE_UTC mode for show_date() is
introduced so we can easily generate this line in the correct format.

...but this will break t4013-diff-various which expects the exact date
string 'Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001' in the mbox header. Patch to fix this test
to follow!
