[PATCH] gendocs: Output timestamp in English.

[Simon Josefsson]

Hi.

I noticed that the generated InetUtils manual had a locale problem in
the timestamp:

https://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/manual/

The script gendocs.sh has:

: "${SETLANG="env LANG= LC_MESSAGES= LC_ALL= LANGUAGE="}"
...
curdate=`$SETLANG date '+%B %d, %Y'`

The reason seems to be LC_TIME which PureOS 10 for some reason set.

jas@latte:~/src/gnulib$ locale
LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
jas@latte:~/src/gnulib$ env LANG= LC_MESSAGES= LC_ALL= LANGUAGE= date '+%B %d, 
%Y'
oktober 25, 2022
jas@latte:~/src/gnulib$ env LANG= LC_TIME= LC_MESSAGES= LC_ALL= LANGUAGE= date 
'+%B %d, %Y'
October 25, 2022
jas@latte:~/src/gnulib$ 

The attached patch fixes this.
