Move to 'faker' on Pypi

See original GitHub issue

Looks like the Faker namespace on Pypi has been abandoned for quite a while: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Faker

This project’s owner @joke2k should file a request to have the namespace transferred to this project.

It would reduce confusion between Faker (project name) and fake-factory (how it gets pip installed).

The pypi team is pretty good about transferring namespaces if they’re clearly abandoned (which seems to be the case here).

@jeffwidman The plan is to replace fake-factory with an ‘empty’ package that just prints out a message pointing to Faker on December 15th. I have no desire to keep two slighlty different branches and packages in sync for longer than 90 days

@fcurella I’m a maintainer on FactoryBoy and happy to merge this.

Long term, we’ve got a goal to get rid of some our random code stuff in favor of faker plugins.
