    Unmap the microdescriptor cache before replacing it.
    
    This is a reprise of the fix in bdff7e3299d78; 6905c1f6 reintroduced
    that bug.  Briefly: windows doesn't seem to like deleting a mapped
    file.  I tried adding the PROT_SHARED_DELETE flag to the createfile
    all, but that didn't actually fix this issue.  Fortunately, the unit
    test I added in 4f4fc63fea0589a4fa03f3859dc27860cdde75af should
    prevent us from making this particular screw-up again.
    
    This patch also tries to limit the crash potential of a failure to
    write by a little bit, although it could do a better job of retaining
    microdescriptor bodies.
    
    Fix for bug 8822, bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha.
