Bugzilla

Alex, we have a new contributor here (first steps into TB) who is willing to implement dedicated renaming functionality for some directory types in address book (custom ABs, LDAP directories, mailing lists).

I suggest that we keep it simple (and doable), and just implement a plain vanilla `Rename 'My Custom AB` dialog, much like the `Rename Attachment` dialog seen in the attached screenshot, or like the `Properties` dialog on custom address books created by user. The ux-efficiency goal here is that Windows users can just press `F2` on a selected directory to rename that in a clutter-free and focused manner.
- Dynamic Rename dialog title:`Rename {AB/LDAP/ML-name}` (we already have other similar dialogs)
- For custom ABs, replace "Properties" context menu with "Rename" (as there's nothing else on properties)
- For LDAP directories, add "Rename" context menu in addition to "Properties" (as there's other properties, even properties tabs).
- For mailing lists, add "Rename" context menu in addition to "Edit List" (which is rebranded list properties).

I'd like to have your feedback early so that we don't work in vain.
What do you think?
