%% @doc Emulate `ct_rpc:call/6' but do not rely on Common Test.
%% `call/6' takes a `Cookie' as the last parameter,
%% so that nodes with different cookies can be easily called.
%% However, this function is not safe (and neither is the original `ct_rpc:call/6')
%% in a concurrent environment as it gets/sets the cookie
%% with `erlang:get_cookie/0' and `erlang:set_cookie/1'.
%% Interleaving these calls in concurrent processes is prone to race conditions.
