dev/0.8 - Smart Glasses module naming conventions

[Rythian2277]

Describe your idea (If you have more than one idea, please open the rest in other issues)

Smart Glasses modules currently use the modid:itemname convention, this is inconsistent with how the rest of CC/AP handles similar objects such as peripherals. (Yes, generic peripherals do maintain the modid:name pattern but this is only used for generics.)

At this moment in time to be able to call a module, which is added by AP itself, you still have to state the advancedperipherals: prefix for the module to be accessible via code such as

local modules = peripheral.wrap("back")
local hasOverlay = modules.hasModule("advancedperipherals:overlay")

Describe alternatives you've considered if any

A simple map of modules, similar to how peripherals are handled and accessible via defined names, chat_box, player_detector, etc.

Modules can be mapped as overlay, night_vision, hotkey, keyboard, ...
Any future modules from either AP itself or potential addon developers would then easily be able to be integrated without having to memorise every mod ID.

We are using minecraft registry to manage our modules, which means it has to follow the <namespace>:<name> rule. Remove the namespace is possible, we can just use our modid when the namespace doesn't present, but other addons' modules will still require prefixes.
CC peripheral does not require the prefix since it doesn't need to do any index about the peripheral type; peripheral implementation only need to simply provide its type name(s), and Lua side do a O(n) search on all available peripherals when you using peripheral.find. However, our modules' type name is used to index a module object parser and a module object renderer, these are better to be managed via Registry to prevent naming conflict while maintain code consistency and ease of use.

TL; DR: we can only remove the need of advanceperipherals: prefix, but not type from other addons.
