vim-patch:7.4.1988

Problem:    When updating viminfo with file marks there is no time order.
Solution:   Remember the time when a buffer was last used, store marks for
            the most recently used buffers.
https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/ab9c89b68dcbdb3fbda8c5a50dd90caca64f1bfd

As this is a viminfo fix, most of this is irrelevant - the patch has
just been brought across for the creation and updating of buffer's
`b_last_used` properties.
