Remove timestamp to allow reproducible builds (#292)

This removes the metadata.generated timestamp in a json file generated by AboutLibraries. This value is not really needed, but breaks reproducible builds, as different timestamps are saved. mikepenz/AboutLibraries#784 (comment) Without this timestamp the app is fully reproducible.
