Bug description:  rename() function caches a source file info

Description:
------------
When i try to rename a file, then to check if the source file exists,
file_exists() returns me true. A conclusion is that a source file info is
cached when using rename() function. 
My solution was to call clearcache() between rename() and file_exists().
I'm not sure if anyone else will consider it as a bug, but i suppose it's
not a desired behavior.
In the Reproduce code i put casting into integer just for the sake of
displaying 0 if the file doesn't exist instead of an empty string.

Reproduce code:
---------------
rename('oldFile.txt', 'newFile.txt');
echo((int) file_exists('oldFile.txt');

Expected result:
----------------
1

Actual result:
--------------
0
