split: handle partial commit of renames when doing split or record (issue5723)

When using split or record, using either interface (text or curses), selecting
portions of the file to be committed/recorded did not work; the entire file was
treated as having been selected. This was because the logic for handling partial
application of the patches relies on knowing what files are "new with
modifications" and it doesn't treat "rename destination" as "new".

There was a complicating issue, however. We're relying on the patch header
specifying the copy from/to information, which works as long as the 'copy from'
file is there. In the case of renames, however, the 'rename from' file is *not*
there, so we need to add it back.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
