namespaces: add template name of a namespace

The template name property will be used in upcoming patches to automatically
generate a template keyword. For example, given a namespace called 'babars', we
will automatically generate a template keyword 'babar' such that we can use it
in the following way,

$ hg log -r . -T '{babars % "King: {babar}\n"}'

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
