[RFC] javadoc: default to not including timestamps

[Martin Buchholz]

At Google we also strive for repeatable builds.  We find timestamps
embedded in jar files to be the biggest problem.

Timestamps are useful for users checking up-to-dateness via the "Show
Source" action in a web browser.

Making the choice of timestamp explicit in a javadoc invocation seems like
a good practice.

Changing the default behavior is generally not done in the java world
unless there's a compelling reason.
