Clarify rules for package name in documentation 

Nowhere in the documentation does it say that the only valid package names
are ones that match (excuse my abuse of regex to explain this):

^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]

This change makes clear the rules followed by the PackageParser

<dt><a name="package"></a>{@code package}</dt>

<dd>A full Java package name for the application.  The name should 

be unique.  For example, applications published by Google could have 

names in the form <code>com.google.app.<i>application_name</i></code>.

be unique.  The name may contain uppercase or lowercase letters ('A'

through 'Z'), numbers, and underscores ('_').  However, individual

package name parts may only start with letters.  For example, applications

published by Google could have names in the form

<code>com.google.app.<i>application_name</i></code>.



<p>

The package name serves as a unique identifier for the application.
