Keep the Config Dirty After a Failed Write and Sweep a Write's Own Leftovers

Before this change a config whose temporary could not be written stayed
dirty, so the idle handler tried again; the last round cleared the flag
regardless, which lost a pending change to a transient failure. The
writer reports whether the config itself was written and the flag clears
only then, as it always did.

The Windows rename retry duplicated what WindowsSupport::rename already
does, retrying and moving an open destination aside, and multiplied its
error logging; it is gone. The file a refused rename moves aside is
named so the sweep can clear it after a crash in between, and every
successful atomic write sweeps leftovers of earlier writes to the same
target, so the caches and the smaller state files are covered too; the
name shapes are strict enough that nothing of the user's matches.

The lock wait defaults to a second, long against a critical section of
milliseconds and short against the GUI thread; a lock file that cannot
be opened says to check its owner and permissions; the test timing
bounds tolerate a loaded runner; and the helper's header includes what
its declarations use.
