It's a more generic term and applicable to alternatives of Docker, such
as Podman or other OCI-compliant technologies.

## What does this PR do?
So far `llama stack build` has always created a separate conda
environment for packaging the dependencies of a distribution. The main
reason to do so is isolation -- distributions are composed of providers
which can have a variety of potentially conflicting dependencies. That
said, this has created significant annoyance for new users since it is
not at all transparent. The fact that `llama stack run` is actually
running the code in some other conda is very surprising.
This PR tries to make things better.
- Both `llama stack build` and `llama stack run` now accept an
`--image-name` argument which represents the (conda, docker, virtualenv)
image you want to operate upon.
- For the default (conda) mode, the script checks if a current conda
environment exists. If one exists, it uses it.
- If `--image-name` is provided, that option is used. In this case, an
environment is created if needed.
- There is no automatic `llamastack-` prefixing of the environment names
done anymore.
## Test Plan
Start in a conda environment, run `llama stack build --template
fireworks`; verify that it successfully built into the current
environment and stored the build file at
`$CONDA_PREFIX/llamastack-build.yaml`. Run `llama stack run fireworks`
which started correctly in the current environment.
Ran the same build command outside of conda. It failed asking for
`--image-name`. Ran it with `llama stack build --template fireworks
--image-name foo`. This successfully created a conda environment called
`foo` and installed deps. Ran `llama stack run fireworks` outside conda
which failed. Activated a different conda, ran again, it failed saying
it did not find the `llamastack-build.yaml` file. Then used
`--image-name foo` option and it ran successfully.
