[Owncloud] namespacing

[Arthur Schiwon]

A follow up on this.

The suggestion was actually to use \OCA_appid\ as namespace, what i did 
was to support the pattern \OCA\appid\ in the autoloader.

The first pattern is e.g. used in the app files_version

namespace OCA_Versions;
class Hooks { .. }

Having two different approaches is of course bad style and should be 
avoided. Frank and I wonder now, what the better and more intuitive way 
is: \OCA_appid\ or \OCA\appid\

Thoughts, opinions?

Cheers
Arthur
