    Make SAVECONF keep only one backup and add sandbox rules for it. #40317
    
    When seccomp sandbox is active, SAVECONF failed because it was not
    able to save the backup files for torrc. This commit simplifies
    the implementation of SAVECONF and sandbox by making it keep only
    one backup of the configuration file.

+  o Minor bugfixes (control, sandbox):
+    - Allows the control command SAVECONF to succeed when the seccomp
+      sandbox is enabled. Makes SAVECONF keep only one backup file to
+      simplify implementation. Fixes bug 40317; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
