Revert the previous change.
(copy_internal): In move mode, if the rename attempt
fails, then unlink any existing destination file. This makes a
cross-device `mv' more consistent with the intra-device behavior.
This change is required by POSIX to make a cross-device move act with
semantics similar to those of the rename syscall. For example now
`mv' can move a file onto a symlink to itself when that symlink
is on a separate partition. With fileutils-4.0j, it would fail with
a diagnostic saying they were the same file.
