Description
I think there's enough information available to do this. For example, renaming foo.rs to bar.rs should automatically change mod foo to mod bar.
This should probably be behind an option, because this might not always be what's expected.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing rust-analyzer's handling of file and directory renames and how module names are resolved, then investigate where an opt-in setting would belong. Done means a rename such as foo.rs to bar.rs can update mod foo to mod bar when enabled, while preserving existing behavior by default.
