Rename ipa-python directory to ipapython so it is a real python library
We used to install it as ipa, now installing it as ipapython. The rpm is still ipa-python.

+This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
+geared currently towards command-line tools.
+
+A brief overview:
+
+config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses dnsclient to
+ try to detect this information first and will fall back to
+ /etc/ipa/ipa.conf if that fails.
+dnsclient.py - find IPA information via DNS
+
+ipautil.py - helper functions
+
+radius_util.py - helper functions for Radius
+
+entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
+ (but don't add anything currently).
+
+ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
