	Add a new function `libssh2_sftp_posix_rename_ex()` and `libssh2_sftp_posix_rename()`, which implement the posix-rename@openssh.com extension. If the server does not support this extension, the function returns `LIBSSH2_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED` and it's up to the user to recover, possibly by calling `libssh2_sftp_rename()`. Co-authored-by: Viktor Szakats (bump to size_t) Closes #1386

.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
\fIsftp\fP - SFTP instance as returned by
 | 
						|
.BR libssh2_sftp_init(3)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIsourcefile\fP - Path and name of the existing filesystem entry
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIsourcefile_len\fP - Length of the path and name of the existing
 | 
						|
filesystem entry
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIdestfile\fP - Path and name of the target filesystem entry
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIdestfile_len\fP - Length of the path and name of the target
 | 
						|
filesystem entry
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This function implements the posix-rename@openssh.com extension, which is
 | 
						|
useful when, for example, moving files across filesystems on a remote server.
 | 
						|
SSH_FXP_RENAME does not specify a specific implementation, but many servers
 | 
						|
will attempt to user hard links when moving files using SSH_FXP_RENAME.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the server does not support posix-rename@openssh.com, this function will
 | 
						|
return LIBSSH2_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED and you can call libssh2_sftp_rename_ex (3) as
 | 
						|
a backup.
 | 
						|
.SH RETURN VALUE
 | 
						|
Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns
 | 
						|
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
 | 
						|
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it is not really a failure per se.
 | 
						|
.SH ERRORS
 | 
						|
\fILIBSSH2_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED\fP - Server does not support
 | 
						|
posix-rename@openssh.com
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC\fP - An internal memory allocation call failed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND\fP - Unable to send data on socket.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT\fP -
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL\fP - An invalid SFTP protocol response was
 | 
						|
received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to
 | 
						|
be returned by the server.
