[vorbis] Tag changes

Trying to label Don Giovanni...  something like 72 parts.  May I
re-open the discussion of part names vs. numbers?  (a suggestion
follows the quote)

You're right, it shouldn't be TRACK*, but PART*.

Would it be possible to specify PART as the name of the part and
PARTNUMBER as its sequence number, or some such?  Ideally, so as to
make the tags maximally self-documenting, I'd go with PARTNAME and
PARTNUMBER.  Could PART be a deprecated synonym for one or the other?

Cheers!
