There seems to be some consensus growing around the Acero name.  There
is not much code right now that refers to "the engine" as a standalone
concept but we do have documentation that describes a "streaming
execution engine".  I've created a PR[1] to update the documentation
we do have to use the name Acero.

For those that wish to fine-tune the messaging of Acero it would
probably be best to direct improvements to the PR (or open additional
PRs).

This ML thread can then be left for discussion of alternative names or
concerns around the naming itself.

I, for one, am more eager to get this naming dilemma behind us and
worry about functionality :)
