Description
We found it useful to be able to rename a field.
It can save a lot of reindexing time/cost when being used in conjunction with ParallelReader to update partially a field.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the attached RenameField.java and the migrated LUCENE-2160 description. The issue names no current Lucene files, tests, entry points, or acceptance criteria, so first establish the affected API and a regression-test plan; completion cannot be determined from the payload alone.
