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

[Carl Trieloff]

To atomic or not to atomic is

pro: associates it with red hat project, shows our leadership

con: associates it with red hat project, getting other to join


I like the suggestion of Tomas' suggestions.

Carl.
