analytics-python: Package name should NOT be "analytics", rename to segment/segmentio

The top-level package name really should be something unique, like segmentio or something. If you have another package or module loaded in your Python load path named analytics, a very common word, there is a name-space collision and it’s possible (or very difficult) to resolve in Python

# import analytics
import segmentio

I’ll transfer the name across if segment want to keep it updated

@graingert https://github.com/graingert’s wrapper is following it’s own versioning scheme (independent of analytics-python’s versioning). If you download the source code from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/segment/0.2.0, you’ll see it has the latest relevant changes (commit in our repo #79 https://github.com/segmentio/analytics-python/pull/79, and in segment package on pypi https://cloudup.com/c4EegesqVjE).

Effectively it’s up to to date with version 1.2.5
