  SimpleSamlphp metadata refresh causing cron problems

Bug description:
  When we have:
  1) a site has a timezone / country selected
  2) a site that has SAML installed
  3) an institution set up with a SAML auth instance
  4) the SAML auth instance has 'Metadata URL for auto-refresh' set to a valid value

  The timezone gets changed because of the getTime() method in the
  htdocs/auth/saml/extlib/simplesamlphp/modules/metarefresh/lib/MetaLoader.php
  file setting the timezone to UTC.

  This means any cron job happening after the
  PluginAuthSaml::auth_saml_refresh_cron one will be using the wrong
  'time' to compare to and so some cron jobs won't run when they should.
