Uninstall without starting the CA in cert expiration test

Some certificates may have started renewal so returning to
present time can bind the server up with trying to renew.

certmonger fires off helpers when it's time to renew
certificates. This scenario puts the time within the renewal
window. If certmonger notices while the test is running it
will kick off renewal for all 12 certificates.

A lock is used to serialize things. The CA was shut down prior
to changing time so there is no chance of issuing new certs.

A fixture was used to ensure that things restarted when
the test was over. This was for chronyd and the CA. By restarting
the CA we allow the chance that it will be able to do some
work, versus returning a connection error and letting
certmonger just error out (CA_UNREACHABLE).

During uninstallation we call certmonger remove_request over
DBus (the equivalent to stop-tracking). As part of this
certmonger waits for any child (helper) processes to go away.
This used to do it via SIGKILL but that caused other problems
so it was changed to waitpid(). We know that it isn't going to
return for a while because the CA isn't up. DBus has a
hardcoded 25 second timeout. So we're guaranteed to get a
DBus timeout. We *could* try to play with it and change the
timeout, or retry a bunch of times, but it isn't worth the
hassle.

This is a contrived scenario that uninstalls immediately after
tweaking time forward. So rather than trying to make this
succesful, uninstall at the future time with the CA stopped
so that helpers won't be hanging around and certmonger can
remove the certs.

This is the last test so also the last time we need the replica
so to avoid replication bogging things down remove that prior
to executing the test. It's one less moving part during the
uninstall phase.
