Description
### Problem
Renaming a file or folder causes the bookmark to point to a non-existing location
It is annoying to rename a file, then suddenly the shortcut for it needs to be remade
### Proposal
When renaming from Files, once rename is successful,
a quick check if there is a bookmark pointing to the old name
a bookmark name and path update to point to the new name
ditto probably for move operations
...I could do it when Files-Gtk4 lands, but really not much for touching gtk3 code, or risking something that will be skonched away in the porting efforts
### Prior Art (Optional)

Research direction
Start by locating the Files rename and move success handling and the existing bookmarks implementation, then determine whether the work belongs in the GTK3 code or the Files-Gtk4 port. Verify the bookmark’s name and path after a successful rename or move, including the case where no bookmark points to the old location.
