fast-export: do not copy from modified file
When run with the "-C" option, fast-export writes 'C' commands in its
output whenever the internal diff mechanism detects a file copy,
indicating that fast-import should copy the given existing file to the
given new filename. However, the diff mechanism works against the
prior version of the file, whereas fast-import uses whatever is current.
This causes issues when a commit both modifies a file and uses it as the
source for a copy.
Therefore, teach fast-export to refrain from writing 'C' when it has
already written a modification command for a file.
An existing test in t9350-fast-export is also fixed in this patch. The
existing line "C file6 file7" copies the wrong version of file6, but it
has coincidentally worked because file7 was subsequently overridden.
