Subject: [PATCH] Sync the GitHub runner clock with the Windows time server
 (#99)

Adding a step to workflow jobs that interface Apple servers, as a workaround for build issues caused by runner clocks being out of sync. See https://github.com/actions/runner issue number 2996 for details.

name: Sync clock
run: sudo sntp -sS time.windows.com
Added to the following workflows / jobs:

validate_secrets.yml / validate-fastlane-secrets
add_identifiers.yml / identifiers
build_loop.yml / build
create_certs.yml / certificates
