nixos/atop: Remove upgraded logfiles if not replaced 

Before this change, starting atop regularly caused a quadratic
increase in the number of log files over time, as each daily log file
was copied (multiple times) to a new file, and then left there because
the upgrade was a no-op.  This eventually led to atop being unable to
start because the log file name became too long!
