After renaming terminal buffer, loading original buffer destroys terminal without warning

[HarmtH]

When executing the commands below, the original terminal will get destroyed and a new one will be created without warnings:

nvim -u NONE
:te
echo this terminal gets destroyed
<C-\><C-n>
:f gettingdestroyed
:b2

Yep, we should not allow renaming terminal buffers at all. It does not make sense, it's like renaming a file buffer (and then expecting the file name to be different).

see #3278

I like giving my terminals names, then I know what I'm doing in that terminal. Is there a better way to do that?
