settings.json and addressbook.json were written in place with a bare ofstream —
a crash or power loss mid-write truncated the file, and on the next launch the
parse failure silently reset every preference (hidden/favorite addresses, labels,
pool workers, language, theme, lite-server list) because the next save overwrote
the corrupt file with defaults.
Add Platform::writeFileAtomically() (temp file -> fsync -> atomic rename; dir
fsync on POSIX, MoveFileEx on Windows; optional owner-only 0600) and route both
saves through it. On a parse failure, quarantine the unreadable settings file to
settings.json.corrupt-<ts> instead of clobbering it.
