move-if-change: cope with concurrent mv of identical file.
* build-aux/move-if-change (CMPPROG): Accept environment
variable as an override for `cmp'.
(usage): Document CMPPROG.
Adjust comparison to drop stdout. Cope with failure of mv if
the target file exists and is identical to the source, for
parallel builds.
Report from H.J. Lu against binutils in PR binutils/12283.
