Hi,
The building of lib/ct.sym is not reproducible, due to timestamps of
files inside the file (which is basically a zip file).
The proposed solution is to use a constant timestamp for the files
inside the ct.sym file. To simplify the construction, the
CreateSymbols tool does not produce files on the filesystem anymore,
but rather constructs the ct.sym directly.

1587656816359 = 2020-04-23T15:46:56.359Z. Is there anything significant
with this timestamp? Magnus might have suggestions but maybe it would be
saner to pick up the value of DEFAULT_VERSION_DATE.
There is some curious code that generates the timestamp with:
Long.toString(FileTime.from(Instant.now()).toMillis())
Could this use Instant.now().toEpochMilli() instead?
