Don't preserve timestamps when copying skeleton/extra trees

If timestamps should be preserved, a tar archive should be used.
Timestamps in directories are very likely to be arbitrary and there's
no point in preserving them. This doesn't impact reproducible builds
as we have SourceDateEpoch= for that.
