vis: add new :set savemethod auto|atomic|inplace option
Specifies how the current file should be saved, `atomic` which uses
rename(2) to atomically replace the file, `inplace` which truncates the
file and then rewrites it or `auto` which tries the former before falling
back to the latter. The rename method fails for symlinks, hardlinks,
in case of insufficient directory permissions or when either the file
owner, group, POSIX ACL or SELinux labels can not be restored.
The option defaults to `auto`.
