Refactor/rename package must not touch library jars

Hello Andrew,

Thank you

A project has a library jar with com.foo.InterfaceA

There is a source folder with com.foo.ImplementationA class. Trying to
rename com.foo to com.bar makes IDEA present a dialog with pointers to
the package in a jar as well. However, trying to proceed fails, as
IDEA can't modify the jar (and shouldn't). As a result a refactoring
fails. In a worst case
scenario, the result is an incomplete refactoring, throwing a project
into a mess.
IDEA may still present a dialog with jar links, but it must not
prevent source packages from being renamed in the current project.

If this sounds like a valid bug, I'm happy to file a JIRA, just let me
know.

Andrew
