// AtomicWriteFile uses a temporary file along with this package's AtomicRename
// function in order to provide a replacement for ioutil.WriteFile that
// writes the given file into place as atomically as the underlying operating
// system can support.
//
// The sense of "atomic" meant by this function is that the file at the
// given filename will either contain the entirety of the previous contents
// or the entirety of the given data array if opened and read at any point
// during the execution of the function.
//
// On some platforms attempting to overwrite a file that has at least one
// open filehandle will produce an error. On other platforms, the overwriting
// will succeed but existing open handles will still refer to the old file,
// even though its directory entry is no longer present.
//
// Although AtomicWriteFile tries its best to avoid leaving behind its
// temporary file on error, some particularly messy error cases may result
// in a leftover temporary file.
