fix(lsp): kill buffers after renaming a directory #22618

Problem:

When LSP client renames a directory, opened buffers in the edfitor are not
renamed or closed. Then `:wall` shows errors.

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/util.lua#L776
works correctly if you try to rename a single file, but doesn't delete old
buffers with `old_fname` is a dir.

Solution:
Update the logic in runtime/lua/vim/lsp/util.lua:rename()

Fixes #22617
