Evaluate the naming of (variable substitution) routines in Quadratic forms #5427

Compare the naming of methods in the QuadraticForm class for consistency with other Sage naming conventions. In particular, it would be nice if there were a set of standard variable substitution methods for classes of objects involving variables (e.g. polynomials, quaternion algebras, Hermitian/symplectic/linear forms).

Also decide about in-place or copying conventions for operations on quadratic forms. I think that copying is the standard, so it would be good to add a compatible in-place routines according to the Sage naming standard.
