[PATCH v2] UAPI: move RENAME_* definitions to separated file

Hi all, 

It seems that I forgot to rename guards in v2. This is the correct
version. My apologize for noise.

Subject: [PATCH v2] UAPI: move RENAME_* definitions to separated file

Discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180702084622.GA15274@yury-thinkpad/

Although RENAME_* macros are exposed in kernel headers, they are not
used by glibc. That's because linux/fs.h which hosts RENAME_* is
considered unsuitable by glibc developers:

As Florian Weimer wrote:

quoted

<linux/fs.h> undefines and defines macros not mentioned in the standards
(and it even contains a few unrelated structs), so we cannot include it
without _GNU_SOURCE.

It might be possible to include it only for _GNU_SOURCE, but there are a
lot of things in <linux/fs.h>, so that does not seem to be particularly
advisable.

In this patch RENAME_* is removed to a separated header file that
conforms the standards and therefore is suitable for inclusion by glibc.

v2:
 - rename dedicated file to 'rename-flags.h', as requested by Florian.
