What did you do?

Follow up from #43616 (comment) (cc @mdempsky)

Relatively frequently I find myself in the following situation:

type T int

type S struct {
    T
}

With the cursor on the embedded T in S.

I then initiate a rename, but get:

gopls.Rename failed: can't rename embedded fields: rename the type directly or name the field

The fix in this instance is to jump to the definition of T, rename, then jump back. But obviously gopls can do that 😄

To my mind this case is distinct from the case of selector expressions mentioned in #43616 (comment): such a situation is more ambiguous because we can't be sure the user knows the field in question is an embedded field.

But in this case our cursor is on the declaration of the embedded field, so there can be no ambiguity.
