simplify timestamp mocking in testasciidoc.py (#132)

$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is now the officially supported mechanism for
guaranteeing stable output timestamps, which means we can simply run the
tests using that, and drop some code.

This also fixes #131 since the variable would override the mocked time,
resulting in tests failing if $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was set in the
environment (e.g. for linux distro packaging).
