Description

I'm working on documenting and updating the documentation for Roller developers.

The existing developers guide on the old wiki covers Jeff Blattman's
Atom Admin Publishing Protocol (AAPP), which we also refer to as
"adminprotocol" in the properties file and "adminapi" in the package
names.

I'd like to make things consistent and change the names.

AAPP is not based on Atom, it doesn't implement the Atom protocol spec
and it doesn't use the publishing format so using the word "Atom" in
the name isn't right. And AAPP is not an API, its a protocol (like
Atom protocol) so using the word "api" in the name isn't right either.

I'd like to go with the name Roller Admin Protocol instead so:

• Property name stays the same "webservices.adminprotocol"
• Servlet name change from "AtomAdminServet" to "AdminProtocolServlet"
• Servlet mapping becomes "/webservices/rap"
• Package name changes from "adminapi" to "adminprotocol"
• Acronym in docs changes from "AAPP" to "RAP"
