Check file sizes as well as "last modified" times.

[davidmorgan]

I realized that checking file sizes as well as "last modified" is basically free, since it's included in the stat result.

Then I realized that not only does it help real users because it catches some file changes that would not have been caught, it makes testing easier because it helps with the "that was too quick, modification time didn't change" testing problem. I think with this we don't need the "mock modification times" at all, most tests can just work, and a few tests need to insert a delay to work.

So it seems worth doing overall :)
