#27 I (ignore changed filename) does not work with c (ctime)

[Richard van den Berg]

The new config definition I (ignore changed filename)
does not work when c (ctime) is also enabled. The
result of a --check after moving a file is:

Added files:
added:/tmp/test2
Removed files:
removed:/tmp/test

This is actually working as designed, since 'c' means
'ctime' which means time of last status change. When the
filename is changed, the ctime is updated. So 'c' and 'I'
are incompatible by design.

Post from Pablo:

One propably
should give warning about if rule has c and I enabled at the
same time (or
just ignore c, if we are checking for changed filenames? For
implementatio check patch...)

Using 'c' and 'I' together actually makes aide report based
on filename, not inode. So ignoring 'c' seems the right
thing to do.
