Fix move command - stop it running for overlapping fses - fixes #577

Browse Source 
* Make move command check for overlapping remotes and refuse to run
  * Do copy/delete rather than all the copies then all the deletes
  * Doesn't purge the source - this was unexpected behaviour see #512 and #416
  * Add -list-retries flag to test suite to control retries

This changes the semantics of `move` slightly.  However it now errs on
the side of not deleting stuff.

### move source:path dest:path ###
Moves the source to the destination.
Moves the contents of the source directory to the destination
directory. Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap.
If there are no filters in use this is equivalent to a copy followed
by a purge, but may use server side operations to speed it up if
possible.
If no filters are in use and if possible this will server side move
`source:path` into `dest:path`. After this `source:path` will no
longer longer exist.
If filters are in use then it is equivalent to a copy followed by
delete, followed by an rmdir (which only removes the directory if
empty). The individual file moves will be moved with server side
operations if possible.
Otherwise for each file in `source:path` selected by the filters (if
any) this will move it into `dest:path`. If possible a server side
move will be used, otherwise it will copy it (server side if possible)
into `dest:path` then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in
`source:path`.
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
--dry-run flag.
