Fix for atomic_move on RHEL5

Browse source 
When becoming an unprivileged user using non-sudo on a platform where
getlogin() failed in our situation we were not able to detect that the
user had switched.  This meant that all of our logic to use move vs copy
if the user had switched was attempting the wrong thing.  This change
tries the to do the right thing but then falls back to an acceptable
second choice if it doesn't work.

The bug wasn't easily detected because:
* sudo was not affected because sudo records that the user's have been
  switched so we were able to detect that.
* getlogin() works on most platforms.  RHEL5 with python-2.4 seems to be
  the only platform we still care about where getlogin() fails for this
  case.
* It had to be becoming an unprivileged user.  When becoming
  a privileged user, the user would be able to successfully perform the
  best case tasks.
