Following POSIX, ensure that ctime is updated if chown succeeds, unless the new owner is specified as (uid_t)-1 and the new group is specified as (gid_t)-1. Previously, ctime was unchanged whenever the owner and group were both unchanged. Aside from POSIX compliance, this fix makes gnulib report that chown works on Cygwin. This improves the efficiency of packages like GNU tar that use gnulib's chown module. Previously such packages would use a gnulib replacement for chown on Cygwin.
