Subject: [PATCH] Container user 'linuxgsm' crontab can be saved optionally

This should be transparent to users and requires no intervention if they
do not wish to use a custom crontab. Current behavior is retained.

To actually use the custom crontab, the user needs to set
LGSM_SAVE_CRONTAB to true. If set to false, the container will function
exactly as it functions now. This variable needs to be documented in the
downstream (docker image) repository.
