Treat future date & timestamp in <release> as errors

Some background on this issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2262

GNOME Software ( and possibly others ) rely a lot on the date / timestamp provided in the <release> tag. Values in the future are clearly wrong, and they have caused issues with GNOME Software.

  • Future date / timestamps should fail appstreamcli validate checks.
  • This check should possibly be added in appstream-generator as well.
