Use filetimes in check_integrity (#1162)
* check the file times in check_integrity

* make no-arguments to check_integrity check all commands, and also make check_integrity run git-utimes first

this has the downside that the script now takes a little longer. But the upside that it guarantees more correctness.

* update git-extras

using the incredible power of the new script, I have detected this was out of date, out of sync, etc

# Contributing
Thanks for contributing! Please read this document before you make a PR.
## Supported Platforms
Any changes must support the following platforms:
- macOS
- Linux
- OpenBSD (You may need to browse their man page)
Your change must also be compatible with the dependency constraints that we specify in [Installation](./Installation.md). If you aren't sure if a feature is compatible, check the manual or release notes. For example, the Bash changelog is [here](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/NEWS?h=devel).
If you aren't able to test your new command on a platform, make that clear in your PR; someone else may be able to test it on their system.
## Adding a New Command
Let's say you wish to add a new command. Assuming your new command is named `foo`:
1. Write a bash script under `./bin` called `git-foo`. The script should be started with `#!/usr/bin/env bash`.
2. Read `./man/Readme.md` and write documentation for `git-foo`.
3. Don't forget to introduce it in `Commands.md`.
4. Update `./etc/git-extras-completion.zsh`. Just follow existing code.
5. (Optional) Update `./etc/bash_completion.sh`.
6. (Optional) Update `./etc/git-extras.fish`.
7. (Optional) Add a test under `./tests`.
8. Run `./check_integrity.sh foo` to check if all done. (You may also run `./check_integrity.sh` to check all commands.)
You are welcome to open up an issue to discuss new commands or features before opening a pull request.
