    Add GLNX_FILE_REPLACE_INCREASING_MTIME
    
    This make replaced files have a strictly increasing st_mtime. The main
    usecase I have for this is to ensure the summary file mtime increases
    because the flatpak tests are failing due to the python httpd used
    in the tests rely on st_mtime for the http If-Modified-Since header.
    
    For the tests this breaks all the time since we're just doing a lot of
    summary updates. However, I can see this accidentally happening in the
    wild too, so i think its proper to always ensure the new summary is
    "newer", even though it means it will be timestamped slightly in the
    future. In practice this will not happen regularly, and the times it
    *does* happen we really do need it.
