Description

NIFI-9857 fixed most reproducibility issues
but when rebuilding NiFi 1.17.0, a remaining issue was found: the timestamp in MANIFEST.MF uses local timezone instead of UTC as the format suggests, then the value is different for users in different timezones

see difference #13 on .nar file in https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central/blob/master/content/org/apache/nifi/nifi-1.17.0.diffoscope
