mv: never unlink a destination file before calling rename

While cp --preserve=links must unlink certain destination files,
mv must never do that.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Pull the '! x->move_mode' test "up",
so it affects the entire condition, and not just DEREF_NEVER mode.
Reported by James Ralston in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/438076>.
* tests/mv/atomic2: New file.  Test for the above fix.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic2.
* NEWS: Mention the bug-fix.

ls no longer segfaults on files in /proc when linked with an older version
of libselinux. E.g., ls -l /proc/sys would dereference a NULL pointer.
mv would mistakenly unlink a destination file before calling rename,
when the destination had two or more hard links. It no longer does that.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
"rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty" detects and ignores the failure
in more cases when a directory is empty.
