cmake: Teach "-E tar" command a "--mtime=" option
Add an option to set the mtime of entries in a tarball so that one can create a tarball with a consistent content hash (e.g. MD5) for a given set of files regardless of their current timestamps on disk. This will be useful for submission of tarballs to CDash, which tracks content hashes to avoid duplication. Inspired-by: Bill Hoffman <bill.hoffman@kitware.com>
