[Bf-python] object.getDataName() - Implimented

[Campbell Barton]

Hi, I was perplexed that There was no way to get the name of all the 
meshs without doing a getData- Which can be slow with large mesh's.
Sombody mentioned a NMesh.GetNames() or some such thing, but I thaught 
this would be more usefill.
As well as having
ob.getData(), I added
ob.getDataName(),
 This can be used with getType() to  find unique data and generally find 
look at the data your objects are using without actually loading them 
into memory.
I dont have CVS but if sombody wants to add this under getData() in 
Object.c, Id be qhute pleased :)

    Object *object = self->object;

        return ( Py_None );
    }
   
    switch ( object->type ) {
    case OB_ARMATURE:
