Backwards compatibility with older style structured properties.

When implementing structured properties the first time, I just used
Datastore's native embedded entity functionality, not realizing that NDB
had originally used dotted property names instead. (Probably GAE
Datastore didn't have embedded entities when NDB was originally
written.) The problem is that users migrating from GAE NDB can't load
entities with structured properties from their existing datastore. This
PR makes NDB backwards compatible with older, dotted name style
structured properties so that existing repositories still work with the
new NDB.

Fixes #122.
