* lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio.el (eieio-object-name-string): De-obsolete

This is apparently the advertised method to use for `eieio-named' objects.
Also use sxhash-eq to get a more precise default "object name".
(eieio-object-set-name-string): Clarify obsolescence message.

* lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio-base.el (eieio-object-name-string): Delegate to
the default method when applicable.
