BaseTools:Introduce CopyFileOnChange() function to copy cache files

BZ:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1894

Basetool need a CopyFileOnChange() function to avoid cache
file writing race in multi-thread build. Some platforms
build fail with file IO writing race issue when the
build cache is enabled to store cache files in multi-threads.
This is because common same library cache files (e.g. some
libs in MdePkg) can be stored by many different driver modules'
build threads at same time. Current build cache need a function
to check whether the same cache file already exist, and only
copy source file if it is different from the destination file.

This patch introduces an atomic copy function to avoid duplicated
cache files copy.
