A function like j_roots is renamed to roots_jacobi so that it
has a more descriptive name and matches the functions jacobi and
eval_jacobi. The old names are kept as aliases, so all changes are
backwards compatible.

People might not be so into this, but I thought I'd give it a try. :-)

+1 I like these changes. Names are now much more descriptive, which always helps. Saves people from having to go look at the docstring for even a basic understanding of what a function is about.

One week with some +1's and no objections, so I'm removing the "needs-decision" label.
