The value of Simple Discovery has always been somewhat dubious, and most
implementations of the spec (apcera/kurma, 3ofcoins/jetpack,
coreos/rkt) never actually implemented it. On the other hand, meta
discovery is used actively and arguably is synonymous with discovery.

This PR proposes removing the concept of Simple Discovery entirely and
making that synonymousness official - i.e., App Container Image
Discovery is what was formerly called Meta Discovery.

LGTM. We'd implemented meta discovery, but never did simple discovery. Meta was just far more thorough.
