What does this PR do?
This PR retries saving the Agent information file,
fleet.enc, on Windows. The retries are done every 50ms for up to 2 seconds.Why is it important?
Saving the Agent information file involves renaming/moving a file to its final destination. However, on Windows, it is sometimes not possible to rename/move a file to its destination file because the destination file is locked by another process (e.g. antivirus software). For such situations, we now retry the save operation on Windows.
