[SerializeReference] Serialized Reference Data lost when the Class name is refactored
Reproduction steps:
1. Open "1204407" project
2. In the Project window Right Click -> "Create" -> "Data"
3. In the Inspector window click "Add"
4. Open "Jump2" and "Data" scripts
5. Change "Jump1" to "Jump2" and save
6. Focus the Editor
Expected Result: Class name refactoring doesn't affect Serialized Reference Data
Actual Result: Serialized Reference Data lost when the Class name is refactored resulting in "Unknown managed type referenced: [Assembly-CSharp] Game.Actions.Jump1" error

I'd be okay with FormerlySerializedAs on the class itself, it would specify previous name.
This workflow is used for fields and it's something I was expecting would work on classes as well.

Resolution Note (fix version 2021.2):
This will require some significant architectural changes which we are looking to address in the 2021 time frame. Currently one way around the issue is to use UnityEngine.Scripting.APIUpdating.MovedFromAttribute to tag the class which was renamed, moved from namespace or assembly.
