Rename meta.class property to "SuperclassList" for Matlab compatibility (bug #55476). * NEWS: Announce change and eventual removal of alias "SuperClassList". * cdef-manager.cc (cdef_manager): Rename property to "SuperclassList". Add another property "SuperClassList" which points to function "meta.class>get.SuperclassList" as an alias. Add FIXME to remove in version 8.1.
