It only used mlds_qual_kind, which only says if the initial letter should be
case flipped or not.  There should be no problem factoring it out.  It calls
prog_foreign.name_mangle though, so either it goes into parse_tree, or we
move name_mangle into libs as well.  I think libs is preferred.

I'm not sure what to call the modules.  Maybe:

  * libs.common_name_mangle

  * libs.java_name (would need to contain valid_java_symbol_name,
    java_is_keyword and similar)
