refactor: make Package.name consistent with other class attributes

- The 'name' attribute for packages was being set in DirectiveMeta, which
  wasn't consistent with other class properties (like fullname, etc.)

- Move it to be a class property of `PackageMeta`, and add the
  corresponding property method wrapper on `PackageBase`
