    tst: Extend cross-test-ssh.sh to specify if target date can be altered
    
    This code adds new flag - '--allow-time-setting' to cross-test-ssh.sh
    script to indicate if it is allowed to alter the date on the system
    on which tests are executed. This change is supposed to be used with
    test systems, which use virtual machines for testing.
    
    The GLIBC_TEST_ALLOW_TIME_SETTING env variable is exported to the
    remote environment on which the eligible test is run and brings no
    functional change when it is not.
    
    Changes for v2:
    - Utilize flock to provide serialization of cross-test-ssh.sh script
      execution.
    - Add entry to manual/install.texi about --allow-time-setting flag
      usage.
    
    Changes for v3:
    - The install.texi manual has been augmented to explain two distinct
      use cases for setting the time on target system.
