[GRASS-dev] r.horizon and r.sun parameter name compatibility issue

Hi,

I just discovered that two different parameter names where used:

r.horizon
         step For multidirectional horizon: the step size in degrees

r.sun (the new version)
    horizonstep Angle step size for the horizon information [degrees]

I vote for changing that (horizonstep both) to simplify the usage of r.sun.
Yet only RC1 is out first time shipping with r.horizon which isn't yet
widely published.

Objections that I change r.horizon's "step" -> "horizonstep"?

I got positive feedback from Thomas Huld, so I'll tend to
change it asap.
