[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20070102-Philip-6 Summary: Change 'classname' to 'constructor.tagname'

[P T Withington]

They are effectively already unified in the (pseudo) namespace `lz`.   
So the refguide should just refer to all classes as `lz.<tagname>`  
(and deprecate the `Lz*` names).

My main question would be whether we should consider more distinctive  
orthography for our namespaces (before the name `lz` becomes  
widespread).
