The lower-level smb2cli_create_send() does accept create contexts.

smb2cli_create_send() is called by cli_smb2_create_fnum_send() which
is called by cli_ntcreate_send()

So if we have a cli_set_previous_version(cli, time_t t) implicitly
add a TWrp create context inside cli_smb2_create_fnum_send(),
then we have a way for the upper-level code to get at this
for SMB2 at least.

As we're designing this change to the API going forward we
can mandate this is SMB2+ functionality, and not expose it
for SMB1 ?

Haven' had time to look at your patch yet, will do so shortly.
