Improve reliability of file renaming in Windows

[dyung]

Summary

Improve the reliability of file renaming in Windows by having the compiler retry the rename operation on 3 error conditions of ReplaceFileW() that it was previously bailing out on.

Does ReplaceError need to be declared a DWORD somewhere? I'm not familiar with this code, I could just be missing something.

[dyung]

Fixed missing declaration identified by vsk.

These begin() calls should be data() calls.

MSDN says this for ERROR_UNABLE_TO_MOVE_REPLACEMENT_2:
"The file to be replaced still exists with a different name."

Should we do anything about that?

[dyung]

Changed .begin() calls to .data() calls as suggested in review.

We felt that this situation was not possible in this case since we call ReplaceFileW with NULL as the value for lpBackupFileName, so we felt that no backup file would be made. Because of that, if this error occurs, we thought the result would be the same as the ERROR_UNABLE_TO_MOVE_REPLACEMENT, so we would handle it the same way.

I can agree with that interpretation. :)
