    ...fixes file saving on Windows in specific circumstances.
    
    File deletion on Windows is quite tricky. If you simply
    remove the file opened by another app that shares it for
    deletion the file might become semi-removed. It looks
    like it still exists but it is in fact inaccessible for
    any operations until the other app frees the handle.
    
    To solve that case there is a ReplaceFile API call
    which carefully deals with that case.
    
    [Backstory] Oswald Buddenhagen insists that this fix is
    rather a workaround and we should solve file access
    problem in llvm.
    For that purpose we have QTCREATORBUG-19404 and upstream
    https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35558
