This is a further, more comprehensive fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788641
The guestfish 'edit' command (aka 'emacs', 'vi') suffered from the same problems as virt-edit and more. It could have failed and left a partially overwritten file, and it didn't preserve permissions etc from the original file. These three patches fix all this. The first is a code cleanup. The second causes 'edit' to write to a temporary file which is atomically moved over the original. The third copies permissions etc from the original to the new file.
