cpp: some minor changes to the usage of DeleteFile() function

This functions was introduced by commit bf98f39d5d69: "Add the ability
to customize the bazel client's...", but at that time it didn't update
EnsureCorrectRunningVersion() function, that uses unlink() function, to
use DeleteFile() as well.

So this patch updates EnsureCorrectRunningVersion() to make use of it
now.

While there is nothing wrong with the current name, it is not very much
correct from the documentation point. If the path is a symlink, unlink()
will just the symbolic link and the file won't be removed (affected at all).
Otherwise, if it is just a normal file, it will just decrement the link
count of the file and when that count reaches zero (0) then the file
will longer be accessible.

So while at it we renamed the function to UnlinkPath(), but could just
stay as DeleteFile() if we wanted.

In this process we also improved the documentation for this function to
be a little more clear and removed moved it from the source file, since
the header file already has it.

For further reference, adhere to the documentation in
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/unlink.html.

Bazel (Beta)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:

  • A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.

  • An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

  • Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
