Footer: "Last updated on None"

[hugovk]

The typing docs use this theme:

https://typing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

The footer says:

Last updated on None.

CPython docs has:

Last updated on Mar 23, 2024 (19:01 UTC).

Maybe typing is missing something in conf.py, or maybe this theme is making an assumption.

This?

Yep, that looks like it.

The comment used to be:

# If not '', a 'Last updated on:' timestamp is inserted at every page bottom,
# using the given strftime format.

We should probably default to not showing the line if the config is missing, or use a default timestamp. Basically do whatever the earlier behaviour was.
