Boris Pavlovic 2f4555be27 Rephrase docs call things properly
In a lot of placeses we are using word "benchmark" which
can mean workload, subtask, or test case which is very confusing.

This patch partially address wrong usage of "benchamrk" word

======================================
Using multi scenarios to generate load
======================================
Use Case
--------
Rally should be able to generate real life load. Simultaneously create load
on different components of OpenStack, e.g. simultaneously booting VM, uploading
image and listing users.
Problem Description
-------------------
At the moment Rally is able to run only 1 scenario per subtask.
Scenario are quite specific (e.g. boot and delete VM for example) and can't
actually generate real life load.
Writing a lot of specific subtask scenarios that produces more real life
load will produce mess and a lot of duplication of code.
Possible solution
-----------------
* Extend Rally subtask configuration in such way to support passing
multiple scenarios in single subtask context
* Extend Rally task output format to support results of multiple scenarios in
single subtask separately.
* Extend rally task plot2html and rally task detailed to show results
separately for every scenario.
