Title: Backport fixes to race conditions and file permissions in

file editing.

Previously the original was removed and then the edited file was
renamed, leaving a small timeframe where the file did not exist, which
can lead to bad situations. Fixed by leaving the file in place until
rename is called, which is atomic on all POSIX platforms.

Also make sure all permissions, including ACLs and SELinux security
contexts, are preserved when making a copy of the original file.

Fixes issue 2545.
