[PATCH] t4130: work around Windows limitation

[Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>]

On Windows, it is already pretty expensive to try to recreate the stat()
data that Git assumes is cheap to obtain. To make things halfway decent
in performance, we even have to skip emulating the inode and to
determine the number of hard links.

This is not a huge problem, usually, as either the size or the mtime or
the ctime are tell-tale enough to say when a file has changed, and even
if not, those changes are typically made after the index file was
written, triggering a rehashing of the files' contents.

The t4130-apply-criss-cross-rename test case, however, requires the
inode to determine that files of equal size were swapped, as renaming
files does not update their mtime. And even if we use
nanosecond-precision mtimes on Windows, the file system's time
granularity is typically much coarser (100ms for NTFS, 2s for FAT).

That means that every once in a while, t4130 fails on Windows.

This patch provides the work-around by pretending that the index file
was written earlier than it actually was.
