Feature: Added support for bulk renaming items

[marianalcar]

Resolved / Related Issues

Previously, only one file could be renamed at the same time. We implemented the functionality of renaming multiple at the same time giving Files more flexibility and increased functionalities.

• Closes Feature: Support renaming multiple files at the same time #8191

Steps used to test these changes

1. Opened Files
2. Went to each layout view
3. Created different files and folders
4. Selected them all and renamed them at the same time.

Could you provide a screen recording?

Using the rename action when multiple items are selected should open a "Rename items" dialog

I compiled this branch, but it seems to be missing the dialog when bulk renaming.

@marianalcar the behavior seems to closely mimic File Explorer, while it technically works, we were hoping to add more advanced options in the future and therefore this feature requires a content dialog.

We thought that was the expected behaviour since you mentioned previously on a pr. We'll look into that and do a content dialog. Can you be more specific in what the dialog should have?

Sorry about the confusion! For now, the rename dialog should consist of a simple title and text box for entering the new name. In the future, we may want to add more options.
