mv: use reflink=auto mode by default
On some filesystems (BTRFS), moving a file within the filesystem may cross subvolume boundaries and we can use a lightweight reflink copy, similar to what cp(1) can do, which is faster than a full file copy. This is enabled by default because it's only an optimization for the fall back copy and does not break user expectations or usability. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Set the reflink mode to AUTO. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
