[Developers] /architecure/structure schema addition-change

[brendan neutra]

It finally got done.

The CVT is /architecture/ownership.  The following reverse properties now point 
to that CVT:

/architecture/structure/owner
/architecture/architectural_structure_owner/structures_owned

I have deprecated/hidden the properties that previously used these keys.

I have migrated data from 140 structures to the new model (the old data is still 
there just hidden in the UI and marked as deprecated)

Let me know if you have any issues with this.
