I've thought about it some more, and the fact that the ecore_exe
functions are all called ecore_exe_* like the "sub" ecore functions
means that I consider it to be more consistent.  The style guide says to
use name spaced, object oriented style names, so ecore_exe_* and
ECORE_EXE_* has to be the way to go.

I'll make these changes, but keep ECORE_EVENT_EXE_EXIT around for
historical reasons (so no one can blame me for beaking evidence).
