[PATCH] sstate.bbclass: Remove possibility of file corruption and make package writing atomic

[Richard Purdie]

There is currently a race window when creating sstate packages since we don't
atomically write the files to SSTATE_DIR. This change ensures we do so by writing
to a temporary file and then doing an atomic move.
