  1. fix: Trust the filesystem to move files

    The original lib/util/move-file.js has gone through many iterations over
    the last several years.  It no longer represents anything close to the
    original intent.
    
    Most of the functionality it was originally trying to work around is now
    something that `@npmcli/fs#moveFile` does, and better.  Trying to move a
    file by creating a hard link and unlinking the old file is an
    optimization best left to the operating system when you ask it to move a
    file.  In fact the `@npmcli/fs#moveFile` method tries a *rename* first,
    which is the best choice all around.  It also supports an "overwrite:
    false" flag so we can still error out if the destination already exists.
    
    This PR removes all of the old legacy code.
