[jboss-as7-dev] Renaming some Stuff

Let's kick off the mailing list with a debate!

At our meeting in Antwerp, while explaining the domain architecture to 
people one point that kept coming up was the name "server manager", 
which was confusing for a few people.

We chatted about it for a while and the conclusion was that we should 
rename some pieces to become more consistent.  The most-approved rename 
idea went like this:

Domain Controller  ->  Domain Controller (no change)
Server Manager     ->  Host Controller
Process Manager    ->  Process Controller
Server             ->  Server (no change)

The two main points are:

1. Use either "Controller" or "Manager", not both.  Be consistent.

2. Server Manager sounds like it manages one Server when actually it 
manages all servers on a host.  And, it reads "host.xml", not "server.xml".

Now that we've got Alpha1 out there, we presumably have a full 
understanding of the problem.  So, now's the (only) time to make this 
kind of change before it's set in stone... forever.

So, this is the point where Brian kills me.  :-)
