  2 steps are used to create/delete a time based variable. For create, step 1: Insert Signer Cert to CertDB. Step 2: Insert Payload to Variable. For delete, step 1: Delete Variable. Step 2: Delete Cert from CertDB. System may breaks between step 1 & step 2, so CertDB may contains useless Cert in the next reboot. AuthVariableLib choose to sync consistent state between CertDB & Time Auth Variable on initialization. However, it doesn't apply Time Auth attribute check. Now add it.
