Currently when a package is retired, it sets the eol date to today's
date in pdc, but that enables people to revert the git retirement
commit until the end of the day and that causes a couple of problems

1. When fedpkg retire is called, it sets the eol date in pdc but when
people revert it on the very same day, the eol date is not changed
back.

2. Since the eol date is not change back, the package gets blocked in
koji and people have to request releng to fix it manually and it
causes some confusion.

To fix this issue, we decided to change the retirement date to
yesterday's date and that disables people to revert the commit.

This will be a hotfix in pdc-backend01.phx2.fp.o where pdc-updater is running.
