Simplify the names of the minikube machine drivers #22382

Description

@afbjorklund

With the docker-machine drivers gone, there is no need for "kvm2" and "qemu2" any more.

And there is no need for "generic" or "none" either, the drivers can be renamed in minikube.

  • kvm
  • ssh (renamed from "generic")
  • native (renamed from "none")
  • qemu
	// AliasKVM is driver name alias for kvm2
	AliasKVM = "kvm"
	// AliasSSH is driver name alias for ssh
	AliasSSH = "generic"
	// AliasNative is driver name alias for None driver
	AliasNative = "native"
	// AliasQEMU is the driver name alias for qemu2
	AliasQEMU = "qemu"

Previously, kvm1 and qemu1 were the drivers used for docker-machine.

We tried to rename "kvm" to libvirt for sanity, but that name failed to stick.
