The KERNEL_ARTIFACT_NAME variable is used throughout to set the names
of build artifacts. Rather than repeat informaiton about
KERNEL_ARTIFACT_NAME in the many variables that use it, I added
a new entry for the variable. This also impacted the descriptions
of the variables that were repeating information. I updated those
variable descriptions as well.

The KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME variable is new and is effectively
a renamed KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable now. I provided a
new glossary description for the new variable. I updated the
existing KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME description to note it has
changed. We can't just delete the old variable as there are
migration notes for previous releases of YP.
