/// Renames a file or directory to a new location.
///
/// If a file or directory already exists at the target location, it will be overwritten by this
/// operation.
///
/// This function is an async version of [`std::fs::rename`].
///
/// [`std::fs::rename`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.rename.html
///
/// # Errors
///
/// An error will be returned in the following situations:
///
/// * `from` does not point to an existing file or directory.
/// * `from` and `to` are on different filesystems.
/// * The current process lacks permissions to do the rename operation.
/// * Some other I/O error occurred.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```no_run
/// # fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> { async_std::task::block_on(async {
/// #
/// use async_std::fs;
///
/// fs::rename("a.txt", "b.txt").await?;
/// #
/// # Ok(()) }) }
/// ```
