QPID-5351 - Settle on one prefix for Dispatch names
Applied patch from Justin Ross

> Settle on one prefix for Dispatch names

>                 Key: QPID-5351
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-5351
>             Project: Qpid
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Qpid Dispatch
>            Reporter: Justin Ross

> When we have a chance to clarify a true connection for our users by
> using a consistent convention, we should.  Here's what we have now:
> {noformat}
>   qpid-dxrouter.conf
>   qpid-dxrouterd
>   qdstat
>   QD_TOOLS_HOME
>   dx_ for C symbols
>   qdx for AMQP addresses
> {noformat}
> A mess!  I propose one of the following:
> {noformat}
>   dxrouterd.conf         qdxrouterd.conf        qdrouterd.conf
>   dxrouterd              qdxrouterd             qdrouterd
>   dxstat                 qdxstat                qdstat
>   DX_TOOLS_HOME          QDX_TOOLS_HOME         QD_TOOLS_HOME
>   dx_ for symbols        qdx_ for symbols       qd_ for symbols
>   dx for addresses       qdx for addresses      qd for addresses
> {noformat}
> Expressed as a rule: where it's sensible to use a short form, always
> use "qd" (or whatever ends up being canonical).  Otherwise, spell it
> out: qpid/dispatch.
> A standard prefix also improves command-line discoverability:
> qd[TAB][TAB] shows you all the entrypoints.
> I slightly prefer "qd" because it's the simplest abbreviation of Qpid
> Dispatch.  The patch attached here uses it, but I am quite willing to
> supply a new set of patches that use another prefix.
