Rename the extension as "Tools for MicroProfile" #23

Description

See this communication from the Eclipse Management Organisation (EMO):

[...] the name of the extension violates the Eclipse Foundation's Trademark Usage Guidelines.

MicroProfile is a registered trademark of the Eclipse Foundation. As such, it subject to the terms of the Eclipse Foundation Trademark Usage Guidelines.

Trademark management is mostly about avoiding confusion. In that regard, you cannot call a product "MicroProfile Foo" as this very tightly associates the brand with your product. Rather, you may use the form "Foo for MicroProfile". So, "MicroProfile Tools" is not acceptable, but "Tools for MicroProfile" is (having an actual name would be even better, but is not required to conform to our guidelines).

For completeness, you can use the MicroProfile logo, but you may not modify it or incorporate it into your product's logo.

You must also attribute the trademarks to the Eclipse Foundation by adding a statement along the lines of "MicroProfile(R) and the MicroProfile logo are trademarks of the Eclipse Foundation".

We'll release 0.1.1 with those corrections ASAP.
