Summary
Rename the source files for the WTF persistent coders

Make Persistence::Encoder and Persistence::Decoder appropriate for in-memory encoding I'll be needed an in-memory only encoder/decoder in WebCore soon and these classes *almost* hit the mark. The reason they don't quite hit the mark is the SHA1 functionality with is expensive and unnecessary for bits we're not going to store on disk. I plan to split out a base class that skips the SHA1'ing but keeps all of the same great template infrastructure.

I am not sure combining these is a good idea. The Persistence coders need to maintain the same binary format, whereas the in-memory coders are free to change. We've seen in the past cases where people were not aware that binary format was not stable for the WebKit2 coders, and were using it to write to the filesystem, and then when it changed, bad things happened. So, despite there being the desire to share code here, I think this is a rare instance where that might not be the right call.

This is a good point. I agree making it a general purpose coder increases the odds that somebody will unknowingly change the format. (And I noticed, sadly, that there are not any API tests to guarantee backwards compatibility...) We clearly need some WTF API tests for this reason. Additionally I wonder if there's some way in the code we could make it even less likely that somebody would unknowingly change the format? (But if we did have API test coverage, that would still be something that wouldn't last for long) I'll fork it.

Retitling: Rename the source files for the WTF persistent coders This will avoid conflicts from the upcoming non-persistent coders.
