(copy_reg): Don't treat errno==ENOENT as a special case.
(same_file_ok): Detect a case that would have lead to the errno==ENOENT condition above (and a misleading diagnostic), and return 0 so we give a diagnostic about the source and destination being the same file. (copy_internal): Use an explicit test for errno==EXDEV to detect that rename has failed because source and destination are on different devices. This reverts part of a change from 1997-12-13, and is to avoid letting a race condition evoke a bogus diagnostic. Note that while POSIX has encouraged the errno==EXDEV test for years, it was inadequate back in 1997. I'm hoping that many more systems have conforming support these days.
