Describe the issue

Renaming mobs via View Variable no longer works. It sends the log that the rename has gone through but, really, the rename hasn't gone through. Admins now have to manually edit 3 different variables just to rename someone mid-game.

Additionally, VV Renaming was a permission afforded to Mods so we could rename characters with improper names (griefers, new players, players who didn't read the lore). It is now locked behind the +varedit and +dev flag which Mods don't have ofc. This was not an intentional permission change, per Matt.

Mods used to be able to rename mobs only - VV renaming wasn't given to mods for tiles/objects.

This is an issue of 1-2 months that's been annoying some mods/mins for a bit now.

How to reproduce

1. Spawn a human mob.
2. Try to rename it in VV
3. Note the admin log that tells you that the mob has been successfully renamed.
4. Examine the human mob and see that they are actually still named their original name. The rename did not work.
5. Do this again, but with Mod permissions, and see that it is now locked behind the +varedit +dev flags.
