Save metadata and journal staleness: second-pass fixes

- Ownership is applied before permissions: chown clears setuid/setgid,
  so saving a 06755 file left it 0755.
- The umask is read once during static initialisation. Reading it at
  save time needed umask(0)/umask(old), briefly changing it for the swap
  writer thread creating files.
- Before rewriting a hard-linked file in place, the new content is
  written and synced to a copy beside it; if the in-place write fails
  (ENOSPC, EIO) the copy is kept and named in the error.
- Journal headers also record a CRC-32 of the base file (flags bit 1,
  bytes 40..43). A changed mtime with the same size and content
  (touch, checkout back and forth) no longer marks a journal stale.
