[PATCH] Add get_name() Method to Namespaces

[Chromatic]

Here's a patch to implement get_name(), as specified in PDD 21. I haven't
checked it in because it includes an API change. There was already a name()
method in namespaces; I renamed it per the PDD.

I've held off on applying it because Allison said we need a deprecation cycle
for the name() -> get_name() rename.

I've made a note in DEPRECATED.pod that the method is being renamed
(r17030). Go ahead and apply this patch immediately after the 0.4.9
release. (That'll give us a month to shake out any unexpected uses
before the next release.)

You deprecated it before 0.4.8, and I applied the patch a couple of days after
that release, removing the notice in DEPRECATED.pod.
