Subject: Support POD_MAN_DATE in Pod::Man for the left-hand footer

Honor the environment variable POD_MAN_DATE and use its contents, if
set, as the value of the left-hand footer if the date option is not
set, overriding the timestamp of the input file.  This is primarily
useful to ensure reproducible builds of the same output file given the
same souce and Pod::Man version, even when file timestamps may not be
consistent.  Thanks, Niko Tyni.
