- Cleaning phase of the interfaces of libnames.ml and nametab.ml

  (uniformisation of function names, classification). One of the most
  visible change is the renaming of section_path into full_path (the
  use of name section was obsolete due to the module system, but I
  don't know if the new name is the best chosen one - especially it 
  remains some "sp" here and there).
- Simplification of the interface of classify_object (first argument dropped).
- Simplification of the code for vernac keyword "End".
- Other small cleaning or dead code removal.
