Rename package so that it complies with packaging standards #31

When trying to package this for Debian, the source-package-encodes-python-version package quality check tag is triggered.

This source package encodes a Python version in its name such as python2-foo or python3-bar.

This could result in a misleading future situation where this source package supports multiple versions as well unnecessary given that the binary package names will typically encode the supported versions.

If the package were called, for example, sonic-py, then the Debian package would be called python3-sonic-py, and everything would play nice.

The name is always the hardest thing.

To change an known name is not so good.

sonic-py is too near to sonic pi pysonic already exists

python3-python-sonic is not against the debian conventions.
