Rename blockio to blockio-api

[jorisdral]

The name blockio is already taken on Hackage

[jeltsch]

I think it’s not a good idea to include the term “API” in the name. For one thing, what the user gets by using this package is support for block I/O; the “API” is just the interface to this package. For another thing, “API” means “application programming interface”, and block I/O is not only used by applications but also by other libraries.

That said, there is already an issue with the name blockio: “block I/O” is two words, namely “block” and “I/O”. Therefore, the package name should use a dash as a separator. And this actually shows a way out: Let’s call the package block-io, which kills two birds with one stone: the name reflects the two-word structure, and it doesn’t clash with an already used name.

I don't see any such package:

• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/blockio -- 404
• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/blockio/candidates/ -- 404
• https://hackage.haskell.org/packages/search?terms=blockio

Nope, none, nada, niet.

I don't see any such package:

* https://hackage.haskell.org/package/blockio   -- 404

* https://hackage.haskell.org/package/blockio/candidates/  -- 404

* https://hackage.haskell.org/packages/search?terms=blockio

Nope, none, nada, niet.

It gave me an error that the package already existed when I tried to upload to Hackage. The error referred me to this maintainer page: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/blockio/maintainers/
