Rename 'anonymize' package #155

M-Lab is using a colloquial sense of "anonymize" that means "de-identify" which differs from the technical definition of anonymization from https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6973#section-6.1.1 which depends on non-uniqueness (multiple events). This difference is confusing to some audiences, and may imply more than what this package actually does.

The anonymize package should be renamed to more clearly match its intention and application.
