Item9677: Func::saveAttachment have NOW and not 1 Jan 1970 as default date

I'm writing WikiDrawPlugin atm, and testing on trunk - presumably this is an issue on 1.1.0 too

when my plugin calls

            Foswiki::Func::saveAttachment( $svgweb, $svgtopic, $svgattachment,
                                         { file => $tmpFile,
                                           comment => $svgcomment,
                                           hide => 0 
                                         } );

the resultant meta shows a date of 01 Jan 1970 - 00:00, or unix 0 in the attachment table.

I havn't tested against 1.0.x yet (or tmwiki even), but I will be surprised if this is correct. if it is correct, then the Func.pm docco needs updating to indicate that a filetime is compulsory.

I am sure that noone in this world can have any code that relies on the date being epoch 0.

Only reasonable default is time=now.

You cannot possibly break anything with respect to compatibility by treating this as a bug and fixing it to it default to now unless given a time.

This problem was also present in 1.0.X.

I have verified by practical test.

I have made time() the default if no date is given. Noone can have used the epoch 0 as useful default.

Setting to Waiting For Release.
