Rename Log to exponents
Description
In lnoe with using the same fn names in CoCoA-5 and CoCoALib we have decided to change log (of a power product) into exponents.
The old names log and Log are obsolescent; they will continue to work, but each call will print out a warning about being obsolescent.

The new name exponents is rather long, but is easier to understand.
The impl in BuiltinFunctions.C cannot be 1 line because there must also be a call to LPP; this is perhaps due to a slightly different definition in CoCoA-5 from that of CoCoALib - in CoCoA-5 it applies to the LPP of a poly whereas in CoCoALib it applies to a PP.
Not using the name log makes it potentially easier to add some approx transcendental functions (see #737).
