texlive.combine: call faketime from within fmtutil 

Calling 'faketime fmtutil' fails on some non-NixOS systems, due to
fmtutil calling system, and implicitly /bin/sh, which may be
incompatible with faketime's LD_PRELOAD (e.g. using a different glibc).
This change moves faketime within fmtutil so that LD_PRELOAD is applied
only to the final binary.
