[jcifs] Preserve lastModified TIME

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

The SMB_COM_CLOSE command provides a time field that should specify
the last modified time to be set on the file. Provided the documentation is
correct this should be simply a matter of adding a constructor parameter to
SmbComClose but there is currently no way to communicate to an SmbFile
what time should be used (although this would be great for copyTo).
