Python: Fix paraview.simple.RenameSource when newName is the same as the current name
The code in RenameSource does not check that the new name is different from the old one before doing:
pxm.RegisterProxy("sources", newName, proxy)
pxm.UnRegisterProxy("sources", oldName, proxy)
so when they are the same, the new name is unregistered right after creation, and the source stays visible in the 3D view but cannot be accessed through the pipeline anymore.
