uploader.py doesn't update last-updated-date #57

The uploader.py script seems to only create new items, not check if the item 
exists beforehand.

Nonetheless, its a problem on Archive.org itself regarding the change in the 
last updated date. It is currently not possible to change the metadata of an 
item (probably even with the destroy existing metadata header).

If this problem persists, can we decide on whether we want to drop that line of 
metadata regarding the last updated date? IMO downloaders know that the later 
the date is in the filename, the newer the dump is.

The label is not for downloaders, it's for scripts and querying.

It's not true that items are recreated. Destroying and regenerating metadata is 
probably the way to go.

Allow me to handle this (and fix the biggest major issue with uploader.py: the 
identifiers).

Archive.org released a metadata API for use in updating the items and adding 
new metadata (see http://blog.archive.org/2013/07/04/metadata-api/). I will try 
to use that in the script when it finds that there already is an item sitting 
in the desired identifier.

About the identifiers, the domain looks too weird to be pleasing the eye. I 
will try to get the identifier fixed so that it can be compatible with the 
format that was originally desired (and to make it usable for humans and 
machines alike)
