alter metamanger table names to reflect the modify_xml task names

[StaceyS]

To avoid confusion, it would be a good idea to alter the table names in metamanger to reflect what the allowable modify_xml tasks are called (or vice versa). See this table for an example of discrepancies: https://wiki.archive.org/twiki/bin/view/BooksGroup/ModifyXMLTasks

This is a brilliant idea that I support 100%. Can't think of any reason not to do it.

I believe the reason those meta.xml element names that contain hyphens are mapped to different names in the metadata table is that MySql column names aren't allowed to contain hyphens. So I'm afraid we need to use the versions with underscores in metamgr.

As for scancenter <=> scanningcenter, I have no idea why that was done, but given that we're stuck with the rest of them, there seems little reason to go through the trouble of changing this one.

We could change the way they display in metamgr without changing the field names in the database. If it would reduce bad modify_xml tasks, that's a good reason to do it.
