Review follow-ups: log the clobber, arm the test harder

Report when a leftover .bak is about to be replaced, so destroying the
orphan of a killed run is not silent. Test 96 now asserts the -M abort
actually fired and that fast.bin stays a file; test 37 gains a live
update pass so the dead pass rotates onto an existing old.zip, which
nothing covered.
