* lisp/dired-aux.el (dired-vc-rename-file): New defcustom.

(dired-rename-file): Call vc-rename-file when dired-vc-rename-file is non-nil.

* lisp/vc/vc.el (vc-rename-file): Allow renaming added files.
Call vc-file-clearprops on new file too for the case when
old and new files were renamed to each other back and forth.
