Description

As explained by @angelozerr in https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/issues/1140#issuecomment-1475353878 auto-renaming of XML-tags is always active and there's no setting to deactivate it.

It would be nice to have an option, that can in eclipse then show in form of a push button in the toolbar or the general settings of the XML editor to enable or disable it.

Research direction

Start with the behavior described in eclipse/wildwebdeveloper#1140 and its linked comment, then trace how XML tag auto-renaming is integrated into the Eclipse XML editor. Done means users can enable or disable auto-renaming through an Eclipse toolbar button or XML editor setting, with the choice applied consistently.
