When there's absolutely no disk space left Mixxx

* screws up config, appearantly it can't save mixxx.cfg & soundconfig.xml anymore

I watched this happen recently on a vanilla Ubuntu Studio 18.04. Meanwhile, the desktop was still fully functional, no low-space sysmptons.

Don't know if that's a rare scenario, but it definitely stopped the show.

"Instead we should write a second file and then replace the original with it. That way we can avoid losing data when the write fails"
