    Log Message:
    mv() simplified for the non-copy case

    Constified function arguments. Source path is still case-insensitive, but destination is case-sensitive (hopefully that's not an issue).

    When a "move" (!copy) is requested, a rename() is always attempted first and if successful, job done. Otherwise, we continue on with the file-copy (and then remove).

    This should resolve CID 332219 (DEADCODE).

    Log Message:
    Log the total amount of user and mail data backed-up daily (in bytes)

    This was done previous, file by file, at debug log level, in exact bytes.
    That detail is still logged, however the "DAILY: Backing-up ..." log messages are now debug (instead of info) level messages and the total number of bytes (estimated) is now logged at info-level after the backup has completed with "DAILY: Backed-up ..." messages.

    This allows easier tracking of the mail and user base growth over time through log analysis (if the sysop has auto-backups enabled).

    With possible use of "Fast Allocation" (instead of Self-packing) for the
    mail base, it is important that a sysop should be able to easily track the growth rate over time to determine the (necessary) packing interval.
