gpg: Allow to freeze faked system time.

* g10/gpg.c (main): If the parameter for --faked-system-time
ends with a '!', freeze time at the specified point.
* common/gettime.c (gnupg_set_time): Allow to freeze the time
at an arbitrary time instead of only the current time.
* doc/gpg.texi: Update documentation for --faked-system-time.
--

This patch allows the user to modify the behavior of the
--faked-system-time option: by appending a '!' to the parameter,
time in GnuPG will be frozen at the specified time, instead of
advancing normally from that time onward.
