Make sure date -r hits a readable dir (3.2)

When checking early for date flavors, there might be an edge case when a directory with a referred file (for the date command) isn't readable which might cause testssl.sh not to detect the date flavor correctly.

This fixes that (#3009) by cd'ing to / in a subshell which should be cd'able and readable under every platform.
