UI: popup panel for renaming the active item

In 2.79 there was an "Item" panel with only to give access to rename
from the 3D view.

Add this functionality for context sensitive renaming.
Currently this works for objects/bones/sequence strips & nodes.

This uses F2 for a window level shortcut, replacing the file-io menu.
