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.
