Rename media folder

POST
/media/folders/rename

Rename a folder. Its files and subfolders keep their place inside it. Answers 404 when no folder has that path, and 409 when a folder with the new name already exists at the same level, so two folders are never merged by accident.

Move media POST

Move media files to a folder, or to the top level with `folderPath: null`. Moving files into a folder that does not exist yet creates it. Folder names ignore capitals, so a path that differs only in capitals from an existing folder is refused with 409. Posts use media ids, so moving a file never changes a post.

Preview media folder deletion GET

Count what deleting a folder would remove: its files and subfolders at every level, and the files that are kept because a draft or scheduled post still uses them. Show these numbers to the user, then send `fileCount` to Delete media folder. Answers 404 when no folder has that path.
