Description

vfs/common_rename is a no-op when same path.

Rationale : -The old behaviour was introduced by the commit f40c5e32115c22bd1b76ee1abe607040c09681a9 (05 Nov 2009). -The new behaviour is mandated by POSIX ​https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ -The new behaviour permits to rename an empty folder to itself without error (this was my primary use case, encountered here:​https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/trunk/testsuite/tests/lib-sys/rename.ml#L85.
