Description

Problem: extensions cannot reliably observe when a user renames a symbol (F2). There is no extension-facing event for this today (At least I can't seem to find it)

Proposal: add an extension events for symbol rename (onDidRenameSymbol / onWillRenameSymbol)

Use cases: extension-specific handler after renames to update extension based stored data

Thank you!
