Kotlinx.coroutines: CoroutineScope "context" shadows Android context

[mttmllns]

In Android Activities, Fragments, and Views there is a getContext() method that is used frequently. When used with Kotlin the IDE suggests using property access syntax with the synthetic property context. This is shadowed when using an async or launch coroutine block, though, by the CoroutineContext context of CoroutineScope.

We can use getContext() instead and it's not the end of the world, but I wanted to file the issue to see if there should instead be an alternate name for the CoroutineContext. I imagine many people will run into this "issue" whether writing code or reading other's code and getting confused by the two different "contexts".

Cheers.

The tentative plan is to rename it coroutineContext. Stay tuned.

Committed rename of context to coroutineContext into develop branch.
