No effective warning when saving sketch fails due to full disk #2580

Describe the problem
When the Arduino IDE is used with a full disk (0 bytes space left) the error message "The file 'file.ino' has been changed on the file system" incorrectly appears when trying to save the file. Pressing save in the resulting dialog doesn't save anything. Running "save as" creates an empty .ino file with no errors appearing. There appears to be no handling of a full disk. It took me far too long to debug this on the user's PC because of the incorrect error message.
To reproduce
Fully fill up your computer's drive. Try to save the Arduino file. See the incorrect error message. Try using "save as", watch the .ino file contents dissappear.
Expected behavior
The IDE should display a user-friendly warning message when the user tries to save the .ino file on a full disk. Something like "Could not save file: no space available" would suffice.
