[CEDET-devel] Massive rename of tag attributes (was Analyze your Lisp)

I did the job!  I prefixed all tag attributes I found
with a colon, and suffixed boolean type ones with -flag.
So now the tag attribute naming convention is consistent :-)

Here is a summary of tag attributes which have been renamed:

const              :constant-flag
constructor        :constructor-flag
dereference        :dereference
destructor         :destructor-flag
functionpointer    :functionpointer-flag
lexical-analyzer   :lexical-analyzer-flag
methodconst        :methodconst-flag
override-function  :override-function-flag
override-variable  :override-variable-flag
parent             :parent
pointer            :pointer
protection         :protection
prototype          :prototype-flag
pure-virtual       :pure-virtual-flag
reentrant          :reentrant-flag
reference          :reference
static             :static-flag
suffix             :suffix
template           :template
template-specifier :template-specifier
throws             :throws
tree               :tree
typedef            :typedef
typemodifier       :typemodifier
user-visible       :user-visible-flag

I hope I that semantic is not broken now ;-)
However following that big change it is necessary to do a clean build
of semantic (the simplest is "cd <cedet-dir>; make clean-all; make").

Enjoy!

P.S.: Probably the manuals need to be updated too.
