Mac OS: Allow to save files that need user elevation

[jreljac]

• VSCode Version: 1.5.3
• OS Version: macOS 10.12

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Code into command path using the Command pallet option Shell command: Install 'code' command in PATH
2. Open terminal then open a protected file using code Example: $ code /etc/php.ini
3. Edit file then cmd + S to save
4. VSCode responds with Error Failed to save 'php.ini': File is write protected. Select 'Overwrite' to remove protection.

• Clicking Overwrite produces the same message
• Clicking Cancel produces the same message
• Clicking Esc key or Discard dismisses the message

Typical behavior would be to prompt the user for administrator credentials to allow the protected file to be saved.

After updating VSCode, It saves the files couple of times initially and then abruptly stops saving code. I've to close the app and re-open VSCode.
