@brief renames a collection collection.rename(new-name)

Renames a collection using the new-name. The new-name must not already be used for a different collection. new-name must also be a valid collection name. For more information on valid collection names please refer to the naming conventions.

If renaming fails for any reason, an error is thrown. If renaming the collection succeeds, then the collection is also renamed in all graph definitions inside the _graphs collection in the current database.

Note: this method is not available in a cluster.
