because with Boost 1.81 using directly Gaudi::Property<std::string> is
ambiguous

This is done by only updating the potentially existing file when writing and droping the file at initialization to not mix data from 2 rounds.
There is no thread safety issue for now as we write in the stop method

`DECLARE_COMPONENT_PROPERTY( MyComponent, "myprop", "value" )` can be
used to set properties on already declared components.

Sometimes it is useful to be able to deprecate components, i.e. to
make sure a particular job does not use a certain set of components
(e.g. a multi-threaded job should not use components that are known to
be not thread-safe).

This can now be achieved by setting the "deprecated" property in the
plugin registry:
```
  Registry::instance().addProperty( "MyTool", "deprecated", "optional message" );
```

In addition, the warning can be turned into an error using the new
`setError` method.
