That would mean moving lutil_gettime() (and its caller lutil_csnstr()?)
to libldap, so libldap_r can use the mutex.

But not exposing gmtime_mutex would break third-partly modules that
use gmtime()/localtime() correctly, which means protecting them with
gmtime_mutex.  We could however register gmtime_mutex in libldap,
similar to registering which memory functions to use.
