upstream-repo -> upstreamvcs



We've been using the name "upstream-repo" for an additional local Git remote pointing to upstream's Git repository since 2013 or 2014.

Recently it looks like tools (git-buildpackage) and people (cf. a recent thread on -devel) are converging on the name "upstreamvcs". Since one is not better than the other I think we should just follow, change our stuff and be done with it.

For that purpose, I've pushed a branch called 'upstreamvcs' to perl-team/modules/packages/pkg-perl-tools.git which changes dpt-upstream-repo to dpt-upstreamvcs and updates all names and references, and a branch also called 'upstreamvcs' to perl-team/modules/meta.git where the only change is in our .mrconfig (to try dpt-upstreamvcs before dpt-upstream-repo).

(For updating local clones it should be enough to run `dpt-upstreamvcs' in a loop over all directories for the renaming.)

Please review, test, comment on, improve these branches!
I'd like to merge them (and upload pkg-perl-tools to experimental) in a couple of days.


Cheers,
