  Description     : Implements safe "atomic" saving of files for Go

 Go package safefile implements safe "atomic" saving of files.

 Instead of truncating and overwriting the destination file, it creates
 a temporary file in the same directory, writes to it, and then renames
 the temporary file to the original name when calling Commit.

Reason for packaging: Needed for building "govendor", see #823090
