Subject: chromium-extension: Build .crx files in a deterministic fashion.

* gnu/build/chromium-extension.scm (make-crx): Pass #:keep-mtime? #t to
COPY-RECURSIVELY.  Remove defunct FAKETIME workaround.  While at it, pack the
extension in the scratch working directory instead of the transient
store-mapped /tmp.
