rename: fix/reverse the semantics of --no-overwrite in --symlink mode

The previous behaviour was to overwrite a symlink only when the new
destination did not exist, i.e. to avoid creating a symlink to an
existing file!  It had not been documented and it seems
counter-intuitive to me.  So the new behavior protects symlinks pointing
to existing targets from being changed.

Also update manpage to document this mode.
