rename: Fallback to a copy if the filesystems mismatch

Browse source 
In `nix::rename`, if the call to `rename` fails with `EXDEV` (failure
because the source and the destination are in a different filesystems)
switch to copying and removing the source.

To avoid having to re-implement the copy manually, I switched the
function to use the c++17 `filesystem` library (which has a `copy`
function that should do what we want).

Fix #6262
