URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/20396
### Description
**Problem**
It is not easy to rename dags.
**Suggestion**
It would be better if dag can have both id and name. Id could be some
guid/uuid. If not given then id can be generated. At least when required the id
can be queried from the database. This way we can change the dag name without
changing the id.
```python
DAG_ID = '76c9eb30-4f9c-4806-aad8-931c03679726'
DAG_NAME = 'test'
with DAG(dag_id=DAG_ID, dag_name=DAG_NAME, ...):
# some tasks
```
If I want to rename the dag then I can simply change the name and I can
still get the dag history and not running into the risk of backfilling the dag
again.
```python
DAG_ID = '76c9eb30-4f9c-4806-aad8-931c03679726'
DAG_NAME = 'test_edited'
with DAG(dag_id=DAG_ID, dag_name=DAG_NAME, ...):
# some tasks
```
### Use case/motivation
So that dag can be easily renamed.
