[scl.org] Image naming for centos-based images

[Daniel Riek]

FWITW, I agree with Michal and Honza here.

There were 2 primary reasons to include the Platformdifferentiator:
* As stated in the policy [1], the primary purpose was to allow builders of
layered images to understand what underlying platform they would be using
and give them explicit control.
* In addition we wanted to ensure that the RHEL name show-up in searches
(one of the reasons why this is a cert requirement).
