build: introduce support for reproducible builds (opensearch-project#1995)

Reproducible builds is an initiative to create an independently-verifiable path from source to binary code [1]. This can be done by:
- Make all archive tasks in gradle reproducible by ignoring timestamp on files [2]
- Preserve the order in side the archives [2]
- Ensure GlobalBuildInfoPlugin.java use [SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH] when available

[SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH]: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/
[1]: https://reproducible-builds.org/
[2]: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/working_with_files.html#sec:reproducible_archives
