TextSymbolizer deprecate name in favour of content

[nebulon42]

It has been suggested at the carto repository to replace text-name with text-content (ref mapbox/carto#347), which would correspond to <TextSymbolizer name="..."/> vs. <TextSymbolizer content="..."/>.

This change has to come from Mapnik as carto (or more precisely mapnik-reference) cannot map two different css names to one attribute name.

I also think name is not the most accurate label for what the attribute does so I would suggest to deprecate it in 3.1 and to make content the new default.

name attribute has been removed from (or more precisely, silently ignored in) TextSymbolizer (06ec0c3) and ShieldSymbolizer (6ce55a0) for a long time.
content attribute is also not recognized, what you refer to is the element's text content:

<TextSymbolizer> "here's content, a mapnik expression" </TextSymbolizer>
