At which point you will have to rename the version file, the rst
documentation file, the resulting shared library file etc. Right now, most
of the references are to ifcvf, with the only exception being the folder
name. This patch makes things consistent by having everything refer to
ifcvf.

If you prefer, I can do a v2 of this set renaming everything to ifc, but
that would be a lot bigger a job, and would also result in the driver file
itself getting a new name too. Unless there are immediate plans to add an
ifcpf driver, I think this change makes more sense.
