It has been discussed on the ML (thread: "[RFC] rename efl_self") and
IRC, and has been decided we should rename it to this in order to avoid
confusion with the already established meaning of self which is very
similar to what we were using it for, but didn't have complete overlap.
Kudos to Marcel Hollerbach for initiating the discussion and
fighting for it until he convinced a significant mass. :)
This commit breaks API, and depending on compiler potentially ABI.

I just ran my script (email to follow) to migrate all of the EFL
automatically. This commit is *only* the automatic conversion, so it can
be easily reverted and re-run.
as stated in f92e5d50, instead of using eo_add_custom() thus a custom
constructor and maybe overriding the default constructor to block it,
- use the default constructor to build the object
- add calls to eo_add(), to initialize the object
eo_add(class, parent, val_a_set(1), val_b_set(2), ... );
- override eo_finalize to validate the object and if needed,
use eo_error_set(obj) to abort object construction
