Subject: SyncEngine: disable heuristics for backup restoration for server >= 9.1

SyncEngine: disable heuristics for backup restoration for server >= 9.1

The ownCloud 9.1 server has a data-fingerprint property that the admin must
change in case of backup restoration. When this change, the client understands
that a backup was restored, and will generate conflict files and re-upload
new files.

The heuristics based system checks that there is at least two files wose mtime
is put back in the past and no files that goes forward. In that case we ask the
user before creating the conflicts.

This commit disable the heuristics for newer server that have the data-fingerpint.
And change the heuristics to two hours because we want to avoid false positive due
to some clock error, and that 2 hours of lost due to backup restoration is probably
not so bad.

We only ask the user in the heuristics based aproach so in practice this mean that
the "backup-detected" dialog will no longer appear with newer server.
