Dylan M. Taylorandskylartaylor 345fb27a69 security: write files atomically through an exclusive temp file (CWE-59) (#1840)
* security: write files atomically through an exclusive temp file (CWE-59, CWE-377)

Save, export, plot, autosave and the audit log each wrote their output by
putting bytes in a predictable sibling temporary path (`<path>.cadcraft-tmp`,
`<recovery>.tmp`, or the companion `.adt`) and renaming it over the real file.
Opening that pre-existing temporary path for a truncating write follows a
symlink planted there by another local user, letting them redirect the write
onto any file the victim can write before the rename.

Add a shared `atomic_write` helper that creates a fresh temporary file with
`create_new` (O_CREAT|O_EXCL) in the destination directory, writes through the
retained handle, flushes/syncs, and atomically renames it into place. An
existing entry (symlink or not) makes the exclusive create fail instead of
being followed. Route autosave, save, export, plot and the audit log through it.

The macOS CI cert importer likewise wrote the decoded PKCS#12 container to a
fixed name in a possibly shared temp directory; it now creates a private
per-run directory with `mktemp -d` and creates the file with noclobber.

Addresses findings rows 1, 25, 40 (CWE-59) and 19 (CWE-377).

* fix: preserve permissions during atomic replacement

* fix: restrict temporary permissions during exclusive creation
