[pybsddb] Request for comments: Renaming the project

For ages this project was called "bsddb3". This was confusing after
Python 3 dawn because "bsddb3" seems to be the Python 3 version of
"bsddb" and that is not the case.

I am about to release a Python 3 *ONLY* of this project. I don't want to
call it "bsddb3" because it would break Python 2 installations.
Moreover, the API has changed quite a bit, so I rather no automatically
upgrade from "bsddb3".

Given this, I think a name change is is order. I tried to use "bsddb",
but it collides with Python 2 stdlib and PYPI refuses that package name.
I am now thinking about "berkeleydb".

Do you have an opinion/suggestion? Please, be constructive.

Thanks.
