Allow manual session renaming for easier identification in /resume

Problem
When resuming sessions with /resume, it's very hard to identify which session is which because session titles are auto-generated from conversation content.
The auto-generated titles are often unhelpful — they pick up fragments of conversation that don't represent what the session was actually about. There's no way to manually set or rename a session title.
Proposed Solution
Allow users to manually rename/set session titles. For example:
- A
/session rename "my title"command - Or a
--titleflag when starting a session - Or an interactive rename option in the
/resumelist
Why This Matters
- When working on multiple projects or long-running tasks, sessions pile up quickly
- The auto-generated titles make it nearly impossible to find the right session to resume
- This is especially painful for users who frequently switch between sessions or machines
Environment
- Claude Code CLI (Windows / macOS)
