  3. Rename LinSpace to LinRange 

    This name more accurately reflects what's being constructed.

It's likely that the name `LinSpace` was chosen for Julia since it
matches what's used by Matlab. NumPy uses this name as well, but they
likely also chose it for Matlab familiarity. In Matlab, the name
`linspace` is short for "linearly spaced," and it returns a vector of
linearly spaced elements.

In Julia, we're often more careful with our terminology: in this case,
the returned object is an `AbstractRange`, not some kind of vector space
or any other kind of space. Thus calling it `LinRange` is more
indicative of the functionality.
