cp,mv: add --update=none-fail to fail if existing files

* src/cp.c (main): Add support for --update=none-fail to provide the
functionality of diagnosing files in the destination,
and exiting with failure status.
(usage): Mark -n as deprecated.
* src/mv.c: Likewise.
* src/copy.h: Add UPDATE_NONE_FAIL definition.
* src/system.h (emit_update_parameters_note): Add --update=none-fail
description.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise.
Also mention why -n is deprecated.
* tests/mv/update.sh: Add a test case, including precedence
with -n and other --update options.
* tests/cp/cp-i.sh: Verify that --backup and --update=none{,-fail}
are mutually exclusive.
* tests/mv/mv-n.sh: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.

   cp now accepts the --keep-directory-symlink option (like tar), to preserve
   and follow exisiting symlinks to directories in the destination.
 
+  cp and mv now accept the --update=none-fail option, which is similar
+  to the --no-clobber option, except that existing files are diagnosed,
+  and the command exits with failure status if existing files.
+  The -n,--no-clobber option is best avoided due to platform differences.
+
   od now supports printing IEEE half precision floating point with -t fH,
   or brain 16 bit floating point with -t fB, where supported by the compiler.

 This is like the deprecated @option{--no-clobber} option, where no files in the
 destination are replaced, and also skipping a file does not induce a failure.
 
+@item none-fail
+This is similar to @samp{none}, in that no files in the destination

 @item older
 This is the default operation when @option{--update} is specified, and results
 in files being replaced if they're older than the corresponding source file.
