Subject: ctime(3) is obsolescent

See ctime(3) (POSIX.1-2008) and
www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n3047.pdf.

  Used in 

devices/grohtml/grohtml.1.man:.MR ctime 3
devices/grohtml/post-html.cpp:    .put_string(ctime(&t), strlen(ctime(&t))-1)
devices/grohtml/post-html.cpp:      .put_string(ctime(&t),
strlen(ctime(&t))-1)
devices/grops/grops.1.man:.MR ctime 3
devices/grops/ps.cpp:    fputs(ctime(&t), out.get_file());
roff/groff/groff.1.man:.MR ctime 3
roff/troff/troff.1.man:.MR ctime 3

  The mentioning of "ctime(3)" in man pages ("SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH") is
irrelevant (implementation detail which can change and thus cause lost
time by updating that).
