[Eric] Refactor by renaming a package

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi Tony,

that is a little bit tricky but possible. Here are the steps.

1. Open the __init__.py file of the package to be renamed.
2. Select "Rename Current Module" from the Refactoring menu
3. Enter the new package name into the dialog (instead of the prefilled 
__init__.py)
4. Preview or Apply the refactoring

I just exercised this over here and it worked. The rope rename refactoring is 
written such, that if the __init__.py file is to be renamed, it renames the 
package instead.

Regards,
Detlev
