dpkg: Defer hardlink renames to avoid breakage on unpack
Cherry picked from commit efcf279a50aba3369b24d062017d581006d47d9b.
This fixes two issues related to making the new file contents available
through an alternative but final path before
1) the one "carrying" the content has been fsync()ed, to avoid getting
garbage on system failure.
2) the deferred fsync() on the main path has been performed, avoiding
a possible error when reopening the file for writing if it's currently
under execution.
Deferring the hardlink is safe as they are always after the tar entry
containing the actual file data.
Regression introduced in commit 9cd41fdda1c27169c52d73b3b3ce71991d724994.
Closes: #635683

[ Guillem Jover ]
* Do not fail to unpack shared directories missing on the file system
from packages being replaced by other packages. Closes: #631808
+ * Defer hardlink renames so that there's never a point were the new
+ file contents are accessible from the final path before they have
+ been fsync()ed and cannot be executed causing ETXTBSY when trying
+ to open the to be installed paths for writing.
+ Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <jrnie...@gmail.com>. Closes: #635683
[ Updated man page translations ]
* German (Helge Kreutzmann). Minor fixe(s), including improvement by "Flo".
