Fix WAL file replacement during cascading replication on Windows.

When the startup process restores a WAL file from the archive, it deletes
any old file with the same name and renames the new file in its place. On
Windows, however, when a file is deleted, it still lingers as long as a
process holds a file handle open on it. With cascading replication, a
walsender process can hold the old file open, so the rename() in the startup
process would fail. To fix that, rename the old file to a temporary name, to
make the original file name available for reuse, before deleting the old
file.
