Drop time dependency from bootstrap

[Mark-Simulacrum]

This was only used for the inclusion of 'current' dates into our manpages, but
it is not clear that this is practically necessary. The manpage is essentially
never updated, and so we can likely afford to keep a manual date in these files.
It also seems possible to just omit it, but that may cause other tools trouble,
so avoid doing that for now.

This is largely done to reduce bootstrap complexity; the time crate is not particularly
small and in #92480 would have started pulling in num-threads, which does runtime
thread count detection. I would prefer to avoid that, so filing this to just drop the nearly
unused dependency entirely.

Sounds good.

Looks like #92480 (comment) hitted here too

While I support this change (I didn't even know rustc had a manpage), I'd like to note that the num_threads dependency is only required because std is unsound 🙂 I'll actually go so far as to say this should happen, as the manpage shouldn't show the current(ish) date when they're not actually current.

Rollup #93736 failed on this PR with:

error[E0432]: unresolved import `winapi::um::timezoneapi`
   --> src\bootstrap\bin/rustc.rs:236:48
    |
236 |     use winapi::um::{processthreadsapi, psapi, timezoneapi};
    |                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^ no `timezoneapi` in `um`

Looks like the time dependency was the only thing enabling the timezoneapi feature of winapi that boostrap/bin/rustc.rs needs.

Should be fixed.
