Rename to launch_frontend_py (#9)

Noted in ROS 2 PMC meeting that the name might indicate a "reimplementation of the launch system in Python", per that something like launch-rs or launch-js might indicate. This new name launch_frontend_py is much harder to misinterpret.

 However, much of the community got hooked on Python launchfiles due to early adoption when the frontends were incomplete.
 With that in mind, and the extensive explicit use of exact filenames and `PythonLaunchDescriptionSource`, migration to these frontends is difficult for packages with downstream consumers.
 
-Enter `launch_py` - this package provides a Python-language frontend to `launch`, with identical usage to the XML and YAML versions.

 It provides the same benefits of conciseness, declarative style, while allowing launchfiles to stay in Python.
