Subject: [PATCH] Stores: saving a preset, profile or plug-in reads at most one
 byte past it from the file it replaces

Before writing a PDF preset, ICC profile, plug-in, Color Settings,
disabled list or grants file, the store compared the new bytes with the
file already there by reading the whole file into memory, so a large file
left in the folder was read in full. The comparison now reads at most one
byte more than the new content.
