Refactoring

Summary

Features that help update the structure of Dendron.

With refactoring, you can organize your notes without breaking links that exists to the notes you are organizing.
When you are renaming a note, moving a note to another vault, refactoring an entire hierarchy, or even renaming / moving a header section of a note, refactor will ensure that all the affected link are updated accordingly.

Refactor lets you reorganize your knowledge with a single command regardless of scale; You can refactor a header in a note, an entire note, or multiple notes.
Beyond notes, entire hierarchies can be refactored by leveraging the power of regular expression to match and replace parts of the hierarchy.

See Dendron: Move Header and Dendron: Move Header for more information

Create a note called foo with the following content:

## One

```
[[foo#two]]
```
Go back to the note foo, place the cursor anywhere on the line where the header Two is
