Assets: Keep assets active after renaming, ensure they are scrolled into view

When renaming an ID somewhere in the UI after marking it as asset, it would
often get lost in the Asset Browser (scrolled out of view). It would also get
deactivated.
This patch makes sure that if an asset is active whose ID gets renamed, it is
kept active and visible. That is important for a fast, uninterrupted asset
creation workflow, where users often rename assets while working in the asset
browser.

Old code stored the new file-name to identify a file after re-reading the
file-list after the rename. For assets that doesn't work because there may be
multiple assets with the same name. Here the simple solution of just storing
the pointer to the renamed ID is chosen, rather than relying on the file-name
in this case. (Should be fine with undo, since the ID * reference is short
lived, it's not stored over possible undo steps. If it turns out to have
issues, I rather switch to a rename_id_uuid, but keep that separate from the
file->uid).
