quat: rename Quat to Number

Sebastien Binet requested to merge quat-number into master

Created by: kortschak

This reduces stutter and parallels the convention in the proposed dual and hyperdual packages.

I was originally reluctant to do this, but I think the reduction of stutter and the now found mathworks page (also here, here and here) that uses "quaternion number" make it OK in my mind — though note that Hamilton named them "imaginaries" as a system.

Please take a look.
