In bug 1317223 we would like to sort client engine records by "most recently synced" so we can choose the engine most likely to respond to commands.

A reasonable approximation for this is the last-modified timestamp on the server record. This patch makes that time available in a serverLastModified field on the engine object. It is never written to the server and isn't exposed on *our* client record. It steals from the engine.lastSync attribute after uploading other records.

I first named it simply "lastModified", but the semantics of that WRT queueing a new command vs upload of that new command was fuzzy, so renamed it to make it clearer.
