Subject: [PATCH] yandex: fix modtime randomly reverting to the upload time
 after upload

Yandex Disk stores the modtime in a custom property set just after
the upload completes. The server sometimes silently drops this
property (the request returns success but the property is gone when
read back), leaving the object showing the upload time instead.

Check the modtime read back after upload and set it again if it
didn't stick.
