Scope of Change
==
The notation for native PHP classes in apidoc comments, the reflection API and in XP language will be change from `php.ClassName` to `extension.ClassName`. Also, in XP language, native classes will have to be imported via `import native` and can no longer be referenced directly.

Rationale
==
This matches the syntax for native functions currently used in XP language's import statements, e.g. `import native extension.functionname`.
