Queue: updateMessage exposes bug in Queue service

[joostdenijs]

Copied from issue 207 on the private repository.

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh452234.aspx, the visibilitytimeout when updating "cannot be set to a value later than the expiry time", but that does not seem to be enforced. Here are the HTTP traces showing that is not the case, where first I set the TTL to 6 seconds, then update the visibility timeout to 8 seconds. I'm entering this issue into our database for tracking; I don't know where to enter the issue for the Queue service team.
