Mind-boggling, but this manages to break on Solaris. Fix is
below.

t2104: touch portability fix

Some versions of touch support the syntax:

  touch [MMDDhhmm[yy]] file...

which makes the first argument an optional time
specification. They can get confused by

  touch 1 2 foo bar

as they assume that '1' is a bogus time specification. This
is broken, for example, with /bin/touch on Solaris 8.

To fix it, we'll just reverse the order of arguments so that
an unambiguous argument is in the slot for the optional time
specification.

Note that this has implications for 'touch "$FOO" "$BAR"'
used in scripts if FOO might be entirely numeric. However, a
quick grep shows we usually touch one file at a time.
