When publishing using org-babel-tangle-publish to the same directory
that contains the org files, copy-file will signal an error, since the
source and destination files refer to the same file. So use rename-file
instead.
When publishing to a different directory, this change also cleans up the
old files, which matches the behavior of the other publishing functions
like org-html-publish-to-html.

Subject: [PATCH] Move files when using org-babel-tangle-publish
Fixes copy-file error when publishing to the current directory.
Don't leave behind the old tangled files when publishing.
* lisp/org/ob-tangle.el (org-babel-tangle-publish): Use rename-file
instead of copy-file on tangled files.
