A better name for KameletBinding

[lburgazzoli]

When the KameletBinding concept was introduced in camel-k, if was meant to bind two Kamelets and nothing more, but over time we have added more capabilities, like:

• support for processing steps to transform exchanges/messages
• support to address/source from different systems so the source/sink does not need be a kamelet anymore

So I think the term KameletBinding is not more appropriate and to reduce confusion, following the discussion on the dev mailing list, we should rename KameletBinding to Binding

@christophd since you're already making some work on Kamelets and we are discussing the opportunity to promote the Kamelets API to v1, I think it would be a good opportunity to have a look at this as well.

I've just realized the the CRD type "Binding" may not be a good name. When we try to get the CR from Kube we got some error:

squake:~/workspace/camel-k [feat/2625]$ k get bindings
Error from server (MethodNotAllowed): the server does not allow this method on the requested resource
squake:~/workspace/camel-k [feat/2625]$ k get bindings.camel.apache.org
No resources found in default namespace.
squake:~/workspace/camel-k [feat/2625]$ k get bd
No resources found in default namespace.

@lburgazzoli @astefanutti wdyt? IMO we are safe to use it, but it may create some problem in the future. Since we're still in time, maybe we can call it CamelBinding instead.

What about IntegrationBinding?

I think we should avoid the name clash with the reserved K8s resource

Maybe Pipe ?

I'm thinking on Bond

• a connection between two surfaces or objects that have been joined together, especially by means of an adhesive substance, heat, or pressure.
• (in construction) a pattern in which bricks are laid in order to ensure the strength of the resulting structure.

Finally, Pipe seems to be more appropriate and intuitive, let's go for it. Any objection, please feel free to add a comment.
