2021-10-22lei: use RENAME_NOREPLACE on Linux 3.15+
One syscall is better than two for atomicity in Maildirs. This means there's no window where another process can see both the old and new file at the same time (link && unlink), nor a window where we might inadvertantly clobber an existing file if we were to do `stat && rename'.
