Feature: New algorithm "Rename table field"

Takes an input layer, existing field and a new name for the field, and outputs a new layer with the selected field renamed.

While this result could also be achieved with the Refactor Fields algorithm, Refactor Fields isn't particularly model friendly. It relies on a constant, fixed table structure, and can't adapt to input tables with different field structures.

In contrast, this simple Rename Field algorithm adapts nicely for model use, because it operates on a single field only and leaves all the other fields untouched.
