[CMake] Problem and proposed solution with cmake -E rename across devices

We've run into an issue with cmake -E rename where the rename fails
due to rename() throwing EXDEV when done between devices (different
partitions, nfs to local, etc).  Erik Greenwald has investigated and
has proposed a fix to allow cmake -E rename to succeed across devices
- if possible we'd like to get this or some related fix included,
since this is a real-world build environment situation for us:

Cheers, and thanks!
