sigtool/sign/safefile.go
Sudhi Herle 42bbe5ddeb Refactored the core signing & encryption library, teach sigtool to use safe I/O.
* Added new SafeFile (io.WriteCloser) class + methods to atomically write a file.
* Teach core lib to use SafeFile for all file I/O
* Teach sigtool to use SafeFile for all file I/O
* Cleaned up the public interfaces of sign/ to be more coherent:
   - with uniform APIs for marshaling, unmarshaling, serialization.
   - removed KeyPair class/interface and stick to PrivateKey as the primary
     interface.
* collected common rand utility functions into rand.go
* Teach sigtool to NOT overwrite existing output files (keys, signatures etc.)
* Teach sigtool to use a new --overwrite option for every command that creates
  files (generate, sign, encrypt, decrypt)
* encrypt/decrypt will try to use the input file mode/perm where possible
  (unless input is stdin).
* Added more tests
