convert: drop a duplicate implementation of `dateutil.makedate()`

I noticed this because the signature generated by pytype recently changed to be
less specific.  When the method was introduced back in 337d728e644f,
`util.makedate()` didn't take an optional timestamp arg.  But now it does, and
the methods are the same (except the `dateutil` version validates that the
timestamp isn't a negative value).  I left the old method in place in case
anyone has custom convert code that monkey patches it.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
