Build host architecture is written into metadata hash for compilation units, breaking reproducibility of output between host platforms

### Problem hash_rustc_version() writes rustc().verbose_version into the hash. That data has one problematic field: host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu or host: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu Due to this, when one is using a mix of x86...

Add option to disable timed dependant tests

The disabled tests rely on timing to pass correctly. On a virtualized system under heavy load, these tests randomly fail because they miss a timer or other timing related issues.

src/installer/utils.py: sort entries before writing out RECORD file

This helps build reproducibility by ensuring the RECORD file is the same regardless of the order of the input files.

cnf/configure_mods.sh: sort the module lists
