[occi-wg] Renaming the "Link" base type

[Ralf Nyren]

Hi,

Authorization will likely not make it to the first version of OCCI.  
Authentication will be available though. You are however free to implement  
"users" as a sub-type of Resource and then use ResourceLink to associate  
users with resources.

regards, Ralf
