Fix seems counter intuitive but it helps a lot on my machine. Before, I had 234 errors (23%) out of 1,000 tests run; now, I only have one (0.1%) It's not totaly fixed but it reduce error a lot and avoids having one almost every time I test a PR. Another way to completly fix it would be to use std::fs::set_times on old.trx to set each time in the past, but it requires unstable fs_set_times feature, so I'm not sure you'll agree with that Signed-off-by: Nicolas Le Cam <niko.lecam@gmail.com>

Summary
Drastically reduce dotnet_cmd test flakiness.
Before I got 1 error for 4 runs, now 1 for 1000 on my machine.
It's not totally fixed but it reduces it a lot.
Another way would be to use std::fs::set_times on old.trx to set its time in the past, but it requires unstable fs_set_times feature, so I didn't go down that path.
