clientupdate: cleanup tailscale binary copies on Windows (#10433)

When updating on Windows, we make a copy of the tailscale.exe file in a
temp directory to perform the update, because the original tailscale.exe
gets deleted during the update.

This can eat up disk space if a machine is stuck doing repeated failed
update attempts. Clean up old copies explicitly before making a new one,
same as we do with MSIs.
