Atomic FDW binary replacement closes #4753 (#4898)

* Add test for #4753: FDW binary removed before verifying new installation succeeds

This test demonstrates the critical bug where the existing FDW binary is
deleted before verifying that the new binary can be successfully extracted.
If the ungzip operation fails (corrupt download, disk full, etc.), the
system is left without any FDW binary.

* Fix #4753: Atomic FDW binary replacement prevents broken state

Extract new FDW binary and verify success before removing the old binary.
This ensures the system always has a working FDW binary, even if extraction
fails due to corrupt download, disk full, or other errors.

Changes:
- Extract to target directory first
- Verify extracted binary exists before proceeding
- Move extracted binary to temp name
- Only delete old binary after new one is verified
- Use atomic rename operations for safe file replacement

This fixes the critical bug where os.Remove() was called before Ungzip(),
leaving the system without any FDW binary if ungzip failed.

// Bug Scenario (BEFORE FIX):
// 1. User has working FDW v1.0 installed
// 2. Upgrade to v2.0 begins
// 3. os.Remove() deletes the v1.0 binary (line 70 in fdw.go)
// 4. Ungzip() attempts to extract v2.0 binary (line 72)

// - New v2.0 binary FAILED to install (step 4)
// - System is now BROKEN with no FDW at all
