[ruby-core:82030] [Ruby trunk Feature#13696] Add exchange and noreplace options to File.rename

Issue #13696 has been updated by Glass_saga (Masaki Matsushita).


I think atomicity is important. If the kernel doesn't support atomic exchange, File.exchange should raise NotImplementedError and users can handle it properly.

```
begin
  File.exchange("hoge", "fuga")
rescue NotImplementedError
  # exchange files in another way
end
```

Feature #13696: Add exchange and noreplace options to File.rename

* Target version: 2.5
----------------------------------------
renameat2(2) introduced in linux kernel 3.15 takes following flags.

```
RENAME_EXCHANGE: Atomically exchange oldpath and newpath.

RENAME_NOREPLACE: Don't overwrite newpath of the rename. Return an error if newpath already exists.
```

This change makes `File.rename` take these flags as keyword arguments.

Example:

```ruby
File.write("hoge", "hoge")
File.write("fuga", "fuga")
File.rename("hoge", "fuga", exchange: true) # atomically exchanged
File.read("fuga") #=> "hoge"

File.rename("hoge", "fuga", noreplace: true) #=> File exists @ syserr_fail2_in - fuga (Errno::EEXIST)
```
