1. Show projectTimespan year in UTC …

   Show the 'current' year in the `projectTimespan` (used for example in
   https://github.com/apache/maven-apache-resources/blob/master/jar/src/main/resources/META-INF/NOTICE.vm#L21 ) in UTC.
   
   By default, `SimpleDateFormat` formats the `java.util.Date` (which does not
   carry a timezone) in the 'current' timezone. This is not reproducible, as when
   `project.build.outputTimestamp` is set to a time close to new years', two
   builds in different timezones may produce a different year.
   
   This change makes sure the year is shown in UTC. This especially makes sense
   when `project.build.outputTimestamp` is given in seconds since epoch, since
   epoch is defined to be given relative to 00:00:00 UTC on Thursday, 1 January
   1970. It is also likely the most common timezone when specifying
   `project.build.outputTimestamp` as a date.
   
   I did not introduce a new unit test to test this behaviour, but I did update
   an existing test to be more likely to fail in this case (specifically, when
   building with for example `TZ=GMT-7`).
