Hypens are no longer permitted in plugin names.  We want plugins to have
valid python identifiers, so that we can refer to them with
"bzrlib.plugins.$NAME".  But hyphens aren't permitted in python identifiers.

"bzr-gtk" should be renamed to "gtk" and "pqm-submit" should be renamed
to "pqm".  (I don't know what bzr-tags or update-mirrors should be).
