Make sitemap.xml.gz slightly more reproducible

[oprypin]

The gzip format stores a timestamp inside it, but there's no real point to it being correct.

If a site is rebuilt exactly the same twice, the timestamp metadata of files will be different sure, but this gzip file was the only one that also had actual content that is different each time.

Now instead the date of the gzip file will change only once per day, based on the pages' update date. The sitemap.xml itself also changes once per day already.

Don't you fear that setting a static metadata to a file could introduce unexpected behaviors from third party implementations?

On top of my head could be indexing robots that might look at it to update or not a sitemap and indexing but I don't know really, just sharing a thought.

Since sometimes code is faster than words, I'd like to humbly propose another approach with #3468

If you like the idea, I can work on fixing tests and improving the code ofc

[ultrabug]

Sounds like a nice bargain indeed

Are there plans to release a new version which includes this change? Avoid needless changes to the compressed archive in static websites maintained on github would be nice.
