[FEAT]: Plugin / API for high-level / porcelain rename / delete ops

[vadimkantorov]

Describe the need

• Renaming a file / directory (analogue for git mv ...)
• Deleting a directory (analogue for git rm ...)

These are currently not available in GitHub API, but possible via raw octokit gitdata interface (some attempts in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31563444/rename-a-file-with-github-api). It would be great to have an official Octokit plugin for such high-level ops/shortcuts with reliable/tested implementations.

Currently there already exists a high-level plugin for a text variant of https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/v21/#repos-create-or-update-file-contents : https://github.com/octokit/plugin-create-or-update-text-file.js/

I think more complex ops such as renaming/deleting a file/dir would be awesome as an official plugin...

These are very useful for any editors using GitHub repo as a small file storage / remote FS - frequent usecase for static blogs
