Reduce the length of the header names?

Mark Nottingham suggests that we rename the headers used in the protocol as such:

* CORS-Allow-Origin
* CORS-Max[-A]ge
* CORS-Allow-Cred
* CORS-Allow-Methods
* CORS-Allow-Headers
* CORS-Method
* CORS-Headers

I have explained that we have shipping implementations already, but Mark suggests there could be some grace period where implementations support both.
