Rename core module from `evm` to `eth`

See original GitHub issue

What is wrong?

The core module used in py-evm is evm. This name is becoming less appropriate and if it is ever going to be renamed, now is the time.

How can it be fixed

Rename core module to eth. Please discuss whether we should ship an aliased evm module for a while or whether our alpha status allows for us to make this kind of major breaking change.

Intermediate Python coder & Ethereum newbie here. This is just searching for necessary references and renaming, correct? I am interested in taking it on. Will try to set time aside to take a crack at it tonight.

👍 to being able to drop the evm module. We’ve been pretty aggressive with backwards-incompatible things already: people should already be prepared.

The py-evm rename would be nice, but sounds like it’s not available. Also getting the module name right is more important to than the pypi one, especially for a lower level utility. trinity is what will matter to most people.
