OSC only predates Designate by 5 months ...

"Zone" was what we were recommend to use by the OSC devs at the time we
wrote our OSC plugin, and at the time we were also *not* supposed to
name space commands inside service parent (e.g. openstack zone create vs
openstack dns zone create).

For command flags --dns-zone seems like a good idea - but having a plain
--zone is confusing when we have a top level "zone" object in the CLI,
when the type of object that "--zone" refers to is different to
"openstack zone <action>"
