Patrick Steinhardt 002fe677ca builtin/refs: add "rename" subcommand ...

Add a "rename" subcommand to git-refs(1) with the syntax:

  $ git refs rename <oldref> <newref>

It renames <oldref> together with its reflog to <newref>; even when used
on a local branch ref, the current value and the reflog of the ref are
the only things that are renamed. Document it and redirect casual users
to "git branch -m" if that is what they wanted to do.
