fix(coding-agent): resolved EPERM errors when updating binary on Windows

- Switched to unique, timestamped backup file paths to avoid file lock collisions during binary replacement.
- Implemented a best-effort strategy for backup deletion, allowing successful updates even if the previous process image remains locked.
- Added a cleanup routine for sweeping stale backups, including legacy files, during each update attempt.

## [Unreleased]
### Fixed
- Fixed `omp update` reporting `EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink '<binary>.bak'` on Windows when self-replacing a standalone binary, even though the new binary had already been installed. The backed-up old executable is still the running process image and cannot be unlinked until the process exits, so the post-verify backup cleanup is now best-effort, backups use a unique per-attempt name, and stale backups are swept on the next update ([#845](https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi/issues/845)).
