[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/cache - delete cache file after closing handle

The existing practice of unlinking path immediately after acquiring file 
handle was returning (unchecked) EPERM error on Windows. Switched to 
deletion after closing handle.
Confirmed that cache protocol temp files are deleted in Windows 7 when 
ffmpeg exits.

The cache protocol calls avutil/avpriv_tempfile(), which in turn, calls 
mkstemp (for me), so I don't see the provision to append O_TEMPORARY as 
a flag while opening. mkstemp only applies
_O_RDWR | _O_CREAT | _O_EXCL | _O_BINARY

Should be tested in other environments. If it works, supersedes 
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/13242/

Thanks,
Gyan
