Ken Johnson 0fe57b846d Rename ma.* -> mb.* namespace (cosmetic, breaking)
Across-the-board rename so the unit prefix matches the repo
name (mb = msgbase).  Brings naming into line with
fpc-ftn-transport's tt.* prefix and avoids the historical
"ma" abbreviation that meant nothing to new readers.

Files renamed via git mv:
  src/ma.{api,events,kludge,lock,paths,types}.pas
    -> src/mb.{...}.pas
  src/formats/ma.fmt.{jam,squish,hudson,msg,pcboard,ezycom,
                      goldbase,wildcat,wcutil}{,.uni}.pas
    -> src/formats/mb.fmt.*.pas

All `unit ma.X` declarations and `uses ma.X` clauses rewritten
to `mb.X` across src/, examples/, tests/.

Suite: 47/47 (read 7, hwm 11, lock 4, pack 4, write 5,
wildcat 5, consumer_round1 5, batch's gone w/ PKT relocation,
plus testutil).

Consumer impact: anyone with `uses ma.api;` etc. needs to
update to `uses mb.api;`. No semantic changes; a search/replace
on the consumer's source tree is the only migration step.
NR's notes (~/.MSGAPI_MSGS.md round 3) align this against
their already-pinned 8130b40; the next NR pin bump rolls in
both this rename and any further work in one step.

{
example_write.pas - post one test message to any supported base
via the unified API.
usage: example_write <format> <path> <from> <to> <subject> <body>
Example:
example_write jam /tmp/testarea Sysop All Hello 'Hello, world'
For Hudson/GoldBase/MSG the path is a directory; for JAM/Squish
it is <dir>/<areaname> (no extension); for PKT it is the full
*.pkt filename; for EzyCom it is the base directory and board 1
is used by default.
