[Cuis-dev] Renaming several fundamental Morph classes

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Sorry, my brain keeps storming. I was thinking AffineMorph for
LocatedMorph, because the location is actually a GemoetryTransformation.
But then I realized the transformation is not always an affine
transformation, so I’m not sure what to call it. I guess the location is
actually an embedding into the owner’s space, so maybe EmbeddedMorph (and
embedding instead of location) would be more correct, but perhaps too
technical, and not even sure it always makes sense. TransformedMorph and
transformation might be more suggestive for people familiar with other
graphics frameworks, but not sure..
