Let rename-file rename dirs across filesystems

Problem diagnosed by Andreas Schwab (Bug#28792#65).
This fixes a bug that I introduced in
2017-09-10T22:39:24@eggert@cs.ucla.edu
"Fix race with rename-file etc. with dir NEWNAME".
* src/fileio.c (Frename_file): Copy a source directory across
file system boundaries even if its name does not end in slash.
