[XQuery] A.1 EBNF: rename some symbols

XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language
W3C Working Draft 12 November 2003

A.1 EBNF

It would be good if some groups of related symbols were named more
consistently. Specifically...

--------

'content characters':

    ElementContentChar      (no change)
    QuotAttContentChar      (no change)
    AposAttContentChar      (no change)
    ExprCommentContentChar  instead of ExprCommentContent
    PragmaContentChar       instead of PragmaContents
    ExtensionContentChar    instead of ExtensionContents

(Mind you, I've elsewhere suggested renaming ExprComment as just
Comment, so that would give you CommentContentChar.)

--------

computed constructors:

    CompDocConstructor     (no change)
    CompElemConstructor    (no change)
    CompNSConstructor      (no change)
    CompAttrConstructor    (no change)
    CompTextConstructor    (no change)
    CompCommentConstructor instead of CompXmlComment
    CompPIConstructor      instead of CompXmlPI

--------

direct constructors:

    DirElemConstructor         (no change)
    DirAttributeList           instead of AttributeList
    DirAttributeValue          instead of AttributeValue
    DirElemContent             instead of ElementContent
    DirCommentConstructor      instead of XmlComment
    DirPIConstructor           instead of XmlPI
    DirCdataSectionConstructor instead of CdataSection

or else:

    XmlElement        instead of DirElemConstructor
    XmlAttributeList  instead of AttributeList
    XmlAttributeValue instead of AttributeValue
    XmlElementContent instead of ElementContent
    XmlComment        (no change)
    XmlPI             (no change)
    XmlCdataSection   instead of CdataSection
