Renaming columns inside relocate() #5569

Description

@Pozdniakov

Both functions select() and rename() allows renaming by using assignment inside them. It would be nice to have the same feature in relocate()

#reprex

> library(tidyverse)
> df <- tibble(a = 1, b = 1, c = 1, d = "a", e = "a", f = "a")
> 
> rename(df, ffff = f)

# A tibble: 1 x 6
      a     b     c d     e     ffff 
  <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr>
1     1     1     1 a     a     a    

> select(df, ffff = f)

# A tibble: 1 x 1
  ffff 
  <chr>
1 a    

> relocate(df, ffff = f)

# A tibble: 1 x 6
  f         a     b     c d     e    
  <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <chr>
1 a         1     1     1 a     a    

It would be nice to have instead

> relocate(df, ffff = f)

# A tibble: 1 x 6
  ffff      a     b     c d     e    
  <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <chr>
1 a         1     1     1 a     a
