Bug Description

AWS documentation uses AKI and ARI to refer to the kernel and ramdisk to be used. The ec2-kernel and ec2-ramdisk options may be renamed to ec2-aki and ec2-ari to be consistent with Amazon's terminology.

I vote for leaving the terminology for the vmbuilder options as --ec2-kernel and --ec2-ramdisk to be consistent with Amazon EC2 API command line tool options which tend to be --kernel and --ramdisk .

The aki and ari terms are the prefixes for the kernel and ramdisk image ids but don't need to be the names of the options.
