[Container-tools] Naming the "Container App Spec and Libraries" project

[Daniel Riek]

Atomic App

- Consistent with Project Atomic
- Consistent with the atomic-run tool - which is the first half of this
concept.
- Makes sense because it implements the concept of immutable
infrastucture and aggregate packaging that the 'Atomic' naming scheme is
trying to convey
- Gives some urgently needed content to Project Atomic

And not to forget: it's the original name I had in mind, when I started
the project...

Cheers,

Daniel
