Using {type} in a section's URL format, changing the handle doesn't update existing URLs

• PHP version: 7.x
• Database driver & version: n/a
• Plugins & versions:

Description:

Scenario:
I've got a channel with the URL format set to 'news/{type}/{slug}'. This would produce a URI like '/news/press/my-news-article'.

I then decide to change the entry type title and handle to 'release'. I'd expect the URI to be '/news/release/my-news-article' however it hasn't changed from the original URI.

Workaround:
My short-term fix was to change the URL format to 'news/{slug}' then back to 'news/{type}/{slug}' to trigger the resave elements task. It's not a huge issue for us, but others might not understand how to fix it.

Might be worth triggering a re-save elements task automatically in this specific case.
