When a file has its modtime set while it is open we delay setting the
modtime until the file is closed.
The file is then uploaded in Flush. In Release we check the cached
file has been uploaded by comparing modtimes and or hashes and upload
it again if it has changed.
Before this change we forgot to change the time on the cached file
when we updated the time file on the object, so this mean that Release
reset the time to the wrong time and uploaded the file again on
remotes which don't support hashes (eg crypt).
The fix was to set the modtime of the cached file at the same time we
set the modtime of the remote object. This means that the files check
as identical in Release so it doesn't try to upload the file.
This means that we avoid a double upload and the modtime is correct.

Before this change, with --vfs-cache-mode minimal,writes if files were
opened they would always be read from the remote, regardless of
whether they were in the cache or not.
This change checks to see if the file is in the cache when opening a
file with --vfs-cache-mode >= minimal and if so then it uses it from
the cache.
This makes --vfs-cache-mode writes in particular much more
efficient. No longer is a file uploaded (with write mode) then
immediately downloaded (with read only mode).
Fixes#3330
The purpose of this is to make it easier to maintain and eventually to
allow the rclone backends to be re-used in other projects without
having to use the rclone configuration system.
The new code layout is documented in CONTRIBUTING.
This was causing errors if the cache cleaner was called between the
Open and the pendingOpen of a RW file.
The fix was to move the cache open to the Open from the openPending.
This adds new flags to mount, cmount, serve *
--cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
--cache-mode string Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default "off")
--cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
