[FEAT] do *NOT* reload a video if its name changed

See original GitHub issue

Checklist

  • I’m reporting a feature request
  • I’ve verified that I’m running youtube-dl version 2021.06.06
  • I’ve searched the bugtracker for similar feature requests including closed ones

Description

When the author of a video change its name, youtube-dl reloads the video if it was already downloaded before. Since the video’s GUID is embedded in the filename, could you detect if the file is present in the folder (ie. GUID.mp4) and resume or rename it using the new name ? Also rename description files and subtitles as well.

Regards.
