[arch-general] Rename 'unstable' to 'developing'

As we know, many packages saying even firefox or openoffice in unstable repo
don't mean "unstable", instead, they are quite stable. The name of repo
simply doesn't reflect the fact, so how about a rename?
It's harmless and may even bring some good point, at least from a marketing
point, it may courage more devs or TUs to follow the upstream developing and
put more packages there, in return attract more people who are interested in
the package to do more (testing) work, which can eventually make the package
better quality.
Just my 2 cents.
