It is reasonable to assume use of --no-act means one wants to always see
what would have happen if rename is done. To say same slightly differently,
if there is sn use case for silent rename --no-act run I cannot think one.

The rindex() is marked legacy in POSIX.1-2001, and apparently Androids
bionic libc does not even have it so it is best not to use the legacy
interface.

The message "stat failed %s" seems to say that stat() failed to
do something, or failed to pass a test, but of course it means
that the statting of something failed. So say so. Also make
two very similar messages equal to this one.

Earlier the rename(1) considered path as possible string to be renamed,
could lead to an issue with none existing destination. See below for
demonstration of this issue. After this change all directory elements
are ignored when the match finding happens.
$ cd $(mktemp -d)
$ mkdir aa ab
$ touch a{a,b}/aa
$ rename -v a x */aa
rename: aa/aa: rename to xa/aa failed: No such file or directory
