Description
### Describe the issue
When moving translation files via git (with the move being reflected in it, not just a deletion and addition), Weblate will treat it as a *new* file and clear any translation data that isn't directly in the translation files.
Meaning if you had 5000 translation suggestions, well, you *had* them.
Asking Weblate care about it, this is seemingly “normal”. They added documentation describing the issue.
A comment on another issue suggests that this isn't supposed to happen: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/issues/7691#issuecomment-1137504551

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
_No response_
### Expected behavior
Suggestions:
- Weblate could lock the component if a translation file has been “deleted”.
- Weblate could keep the memory, inform you about it and link you to the relevant documentation page.
