Use IRI for Open social data type identifiers

SPECIFICATION BUGS ONLY - Description
=====================================
Currently, we use the generally undefined syntax "opensocial.{type}" to reference data types. For 3.0, I would like to recommend that we switch to using IRIs to identify data types... for instance..

"opensocial.Person" would become "http://opensocial.org/schema/person"
"opensocial.Activity" would become "http://opensocia.org/schema/activity"

This would provide us with a great deal of flexibility and a more natural extensibility model.

The old identifiers would be deprecated.
