smbios keys deprecated

Hey,

Attached are two patches against hal and hal-info that deprecate the
smbios.* keys and replace them with:

smbios.system.manufacturer	-> system.hardware.manufacturer
smbios.system.product		-> system.hardware.product
smbios.system.version		-> system.hardware.version
smbios.system.serial		-> system.hardware.serial
smbios.system.uuid		-> system.hardware.uuid
smbios.bios.vendor		-> system.firmware.vendor
smbios.bios.version		-> system.firmware.version
smbios.bios.release_date	-> system.firmware.release_date
smbios.chassis.manufacturer	-> system.chassis.manufacturer
smbios.chassis.type		-> system.chassis.type

This means stuff like OLPC and N800 doesn't have to use the
smbios.bios.* prefix for system firmware and is therefore more abstract.

This is important to get in before 0.5.9 as hal-info spec can't change
after it's formally released.

The old keys are copied from the new names, so everything should work as
it used to.

Comments please,

Richard.
