Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-discovery could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the documentation embeds the current time and date.
This is not usually an issue with Sphinx, but AIUI, Sphinx will not
do SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH timestamp magic when the format is .isoformat()

Patch attached that simply drops the "Last updated" line, which is
not so useful in a Debian binary package context.
