Matt LaPlante 0ba9d4ced7 Refactor file handing for self-update.
* Write new file payload to a temp file before touching the original
binary. Minimizes the possibility of failing mid-write and corrupting
the binary.
* On Windows, move the original binary out to a temp file rather than
removing it as the running binary is locked. Fixes issue #2248.
