(Frename_buffer): When the current buffer is already named NAME, don't
short-circuit and just return unless UNIQUE is nil.  This makes passing
UNIQUE=t equivalent to (rename-buffer (generate-new-buffer-name NAME)).
This is useful way to rename the buffer automatically so you can create
another with the original name.
