[wix-devs] 6176 - Add new element for custom BA data and BE data

[Sean Hall]

>From the discussion in our meeting, we need to make some naming decisions
around Burn concepts. We're using three right now:
1. "bootstrapper" (BootstrapperApplication)
2. "bundle" (Bundle, BundleExtension, BundleCustomData)
3. "burn" (internal name for the engine, most of the new elements in this
WIP)

I kinda prefer Burn.
