Set the time zone in main and run Entry in its own test process (closes #192)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

cli.Entry() set time.Local to UTC and ended with memguard.Purge(), and
TestEntryWipesBuffersAndReturnsExitCode ran it in the same process as
the other tests. A timer left by an earlier test could read time.Local
as it changed, which the race detector reported on some runs, and the
purge could destroy a buffer still in use, the likeliest cause of a
crash seen on another run.

main() in cmd/secret now sets time.Local before it calls cli.Entry();
the test that runs the built binary with TZ=America/New_York still
covers it. The Entry test runs cli.Entry() in a copy of the test binary
started with SECRET_TEST_RUN_ENTRY set, which init picks up so that
TestMain does not run there.
