[Bf-committers] Removing prefixes from BGE Python objects

[Campbell Barton]

Think this is a reasonable improvement but we did agree not to modify
the BGE api (with breaking changes), where possible for blender 2.5x.

bge.types (formally GameTypes module) was only in 2.48, 2.49 IIRC?, so
its probably not going to make anywhere near is much trouble as other
changes we made already (using mathutils or removing the OB prefix
from objects), so its ok with me but others may disagree.
