This consolidates the common operations for closing the new temporary file
that we have written, before we move it into place with the final name.
There's some common code there (make it read-only and check for errors on
close), but more importantly, this also gives a single place to add an
fsync_or_die() call if we want to add a safe mode.
This was triggered due to Denis Bueno apparently twice being able to
corrupt his git repository on OS X due to an unlucky combination of kernel
crashes and a not-very-robust filesystem.

Junio, this is just the scaffolding, without the actual fsync_or_die call.
I think it's a worthy place-holder regardless of whether we really want to
do the fsync (whether conditionally with a config option or not, and
whether there are more clever options like aio_fsync()).
