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

[Blair Murri]

Going forward, I think would make the most sense to use Bundle or WixBundle, depending on context, and replace all usages of Bootstrapper and Burn as the prefix in all externally visible names.

Although I agree that Burn is a really cool prefix, we don't have a CandleExtension, for example.

So, BundleApplication, BundleExtension, BundleCustomData, WIXBUNDLEREPAIR, etc.

>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.
