mon: Monitor: make sure we backup a monmap during sync start

First of all, we must find a monmap to backup.  The newest version.

Secondly, we must make sure we back it up before clearing the store.

Finally, we must make sure that we don't remove said backup while
clearing the store; otherwise, we would be out of a backup monmap if the
sync happened to fail (and if the monitor happened to be killed before a
new sync had finished).

This patch makes sure these conditions are met.

Fixes: #5256 (partially)
Backport: cuttlefish
