I do not like the idea of changing both the names. The current change
will ensure that existing uses of "priority-up"/"priority-down" sorting
strategies won't be affected too much. Forcing every Org user who
customized agenda sorting to change the variable values is not
acceptable.

Note that the patch, despite changing the actual meaning of
priority-up/down, makes it more conforming with
`org-agenda-sorting-strategy' docstring. So, this change is, in fact,
safe.

I am neutral wrt "urgency" term. We can use some other.

I do not like the verbosity. Even something like
"priority-and-urgency-up/down" sounds awkward, IMHO.
