Motivation

In order to reduce the footprint of our filesystem API, we're trying to remove existing functions with direct calls to std::filesystem functions.

Context

#9205

Priorities and Process

Add 👍 to pull requests you find important.

The Nix maintainer team uses a GitHub project board to schedule and track reviews.

use `std::filesystem::rename` everywhere and remove `nix::renameFile`
the old `copyFile` was just a wrapper that was calling the `copy`
function. This wrapper function is removed and the `copy` function is
renamed to `copyFile`.

Why is from a directory_entry rather than a path?

I have changed it to use path instead in 62e1ea2. Not sure why it was directory_entry before.

I think we might still want a copyEntry function as an implementation detail because it can avoid another stat in many cases (because the directory listing already has the info).
