[LyX/master] Per a suggestion of JMarc's, first write the saved file to a temporary name, then move it to its real location if we succeed. This prevents our over-writing the existing file with a corrupt one.

Per a suggestion of JMarc's, first write the saved file to a
temporary name, then move it to its real location if we succeed.
This prevents our over-writing the existing file with a corrupt
one.

I've been getting the following message frequently when doing a normal
save (and I have not been doing anything tricky such as editing the
file externally):
"Document xyz.lyx has been externally modified. Are you sure you want
to overwrite this file?"
I did not confirm that the above commit is what changed this behavior,
but I thought I would check in to see if anyone else sees this?

Yes, I see this, too.

Probably does come from that commit. I'll have a look this weekend.
