After a38edab7c8 (Makefile: generate doc versions via GIT-VERSION-GEN, 2024-12-06), we no longer inject GIT_DATE when building with Asciidoctor. Replace the <date/> tag in the XML to inject the value of GIT_DATE. Unlike <refmiscinfo/> as handled in a recent commit, we have no reason to expect that this tag might be missing, so there's no need for "maybe remove, then add" and we can just outright replace the one that Asciidoctor has generated based on the mtime of the source file. Compared to pre-a38edab7c8, we now end up injecting this also in the build of Git.3pm, which until now has been using the mtime of Git.pm. That is arguably even a good change since it results in more reproducible builds.
