- Added an override for copy method, allowing the user to specify whether preserve flag is used in the SCP command. - Propagated the preserveTime boolean to process method to skip preserveTimeIfPossible when it's not desired

Problem:
When trying to SCP a file to a remote machine, where the file exists (overwrite) and the user you're using for SCP is not the owner of the file, you get error "set mode: Operation not permitted", whenever -p switch is specified.
Solution:
Added a boolean variable to toggle usage of -p switch when using SCPUploadClient.copy()
Since it's an extend, the default behavior is unchanged, omitting -p is optional and needs to be explicitly specified.
