that configuration could be recovered in the case PrusaSlicer.ini
is corrupted during saving. The config is first written into a temp file
marked with a MD5 checksum. Once the file is saved, it is
copied to a backup file first, then moved to PrusaSlicer.ini.
When loading PrusaSlicer.ini fails, the backup file will be loaded
instead, however only if its MD5 checksum is valid.
The following "Fixes" comments are for github triggers. We implemented
a workaround, not a fix, we don't actually know how the data corruption
happens and why. Most likely the "Move file" Windows API is not atomic
and if PrusaSlicer crashes on another thread while moving the file,
PrusaSlicer.ini will only be partially saved, with the rest of the file
filled with nulls. We did not "fix" the issue, we just hope that our
workaround will help in majority of cases.
