Yara uses C++ reserved words

Yara uses the word 'namespace' which is a C++ reserved word in numerous locations as a variable name.

Trying to link yara into a C++ application leads to compilation errors.

Suggested fix is to simply rename the namespace variable to something that isn't a reserved word in the following locations:

yara.h lines 206, 295
ast.h line 164
libyara.c lines 201, 440
ast.c lines 28, 35, 166

yara-python.c contains the word namespace, but since this becomes a python module, not as much of a concern.
