Hi all,

this is about terminology, we have term "workload" in Rally that appears in
two clashing meanings:

 1. module rally.plugins.workload
<https://github.com/openstack/rally/tree/master/rally/plugins/workload>
which collects plugins for cross-VM testing
 2. workload replaces term "scenario" in our new input task format
<https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/master/doc/specs/in-progress/new_rally_input_task_format.rst>
(task->scenarios is replaced with task->subtasks->workloads)

Let's introduce new term as replacement of "1." (or maybe "2." but I
suppose this is not the best option).

Maybe rename rally.plugins.workload to:
   rally.plugins.
*vmload   *rally.plugins.*vmperf*
   rally.plugins.*shaker*
   rally.plugins.*vmworkload*
   ...more ideas?
