fix: copy through a temporary file so a cut-short copy is not kept
Build and publish container / build (pull_request) Successful in 6m57s

Copies of already-MP3 sources were written straight to their destination while
encodes went via a temporary file and a rename. A copy interrupted by a full
disk, a killed container or an I/O error therefore left a truncated MP3 in the
mirror -- and because shutil.copy2 reproduces the source's mtime along with its
bytes, staleness detection would read that fragment as up to date and never
replace it. The damage is silent and permanent until someone plays the track.

Give copy the same temporary-file-and-rename path encode already uses, so the
destination either has the whole file or has nothing.

mtime while holding truncated audio, and never be revisited.
Encodes are written to a temporary file and renamed into place, so an
interrupted run cannot leave a truncated MP3 that the next run mistakes for
finished work. A lock file in the mirror root stops two passes overlapping.
Both encodes and copies are written to a temporary file and renamed into place,
so an interrupted run cannot leave a truncated MP3 that the next run mistakes
for finished work. Copies need it as much as encodes do: the mtime comes across
with the bytes, so a half-written copy would look current for ever. A lock file
in the mirror root stops two passes overlapping.
