Rename the pypi package to `drf-extra-fields`

See original GitHub issue

Today, this github project is named “drf-extra-fields”, which is good, since it is hosting fields for the Django REST Framework.

However, the PyPi package is django-extra-fields which creates confusion, and is incorrect since the package does not “add” fields for Django itself.

Maybe this was for SEO reasons (easier to find the package with the keyword django in it), but this can be resolved with metadata info on the package 😃

New package released as drf-extra-fields. From now on you can install the new versions via pip install drf-extra-fields.

I believe this is because of a simple mistake rather than an SEO effort 😃

We will change the name when we will be able to allocate time.
