This change replaces all Ref objects in the code with Key objects. These are
stored in datastore as the same object (raw datastore keys), so this is not
a model change.
Our best practices doc says to use Keys not Refs because:
* The .get() method obscures what's actually going on
- Much harder to visually audit the code for datastore loads
- Hard to distinguish Ref<T> get()'s from Optional get()'s and Supplier get()'s
* Implicit ofy().load() offers much less control
- Antipattern for ultimate goal of making Ofy injectable
- Can't control cache use or batch loading without making ofy() explicit anyway
* Serialization behavior is surprising and could be quite dangerous/incorrect
- Can lead to serialization errors. If it actually worked "as intended",
it would lead to a Ref<> on a serialized object being replaced upon
deserialization with a stale copy of the old value, which could potentially
break all kinds of transactional expectations
* Having both Ref<T> and Key<T> introduces extra boilerplate everywhere
- E.g. helper methods all need to have Ref and Key overloads, or you need to
call .key() to get the Key<T> for every Ref<T> you want to pass in
- Creating a Ref<T> is more cumbersome, since it doesn't have all the create()
overloads that Key<T> has, only create(Key<T>) and create(Entity) - no way to
create directly from kind+ID/name, raw Key, websafe key string, etc.
(Note that Refs are treated specially by Objectify's @Load method and Keys are not;
we don't use that feature, but it is the one advantage Refs have over Keys.)
The direct impetus for this change is that I am trying to audit our use of memcache,
and the implicit .get() calls to datastore were making that very hard.

We've continuously had concurrent modification exceptions for our regularly
occurring []s that run on thousands of shards, perhaps unnecessarily so.
These exceptions started after the last major [] framework refactoring,
which changed the default number of shards from 100 to essentially infinite. I
don't think infinite is the way to go, and 100 shards should be more than
sufficient for anything we're currently running.

This is an internal-only feature that breaks the open source build.

The dark lord Gosling designed the Java package naming system so that
ownership flows from the DNS system. Since we own the domain name
registry.google, it seems only appropriate that we should use
google.registry as our package name.
This change renames directories in preparation for the great package
rename. The repository is now in a broken state because the code
itself hasn't been updated. However this should ensure that git
correctly preserves history for each file.
