Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm working on a puzzle game, and I often don't know what I'm going to call the map till I have completed the design process. Currently, there is no way in Tiled to rename a map or at least i haven't found one.

Describe the solution you'd like
Be nice to be able to right-click a map in the project view and select an option to rename a map.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The current workaround is to close the Tiled application, rename the file and then re-open tiled.

Research direction

Start by locating the project view and its existing context-menu actions, then trace how map files are opened and renamed outside Tiled. Confirm how a renamed map should be reflected in the project view and reopened by the application; done means the requested right-click rename workflow works without closing Tiled.
