rename repository to simpler "go-dev"

It's just confusing to have the repo deis/docker-go-dev produce the docker image quay.io/deis/go-dev, and I would argue prepending "docker" is either redundant or packaging-specific.
I was responsible for that decision when I incepted this repo. I'll share my rationale, in case it resonates with you. If not, I wouldn't fight you on this...
Including "docker" in the image name would have been redundant (as you pointed out). Everything in Dockerhub and quay.io is a Docker image (although I suppose quay technically can host rkt images as well, but I'm ignoring that fact for now). So if everything is a Docker image, why call out Docker in the image name? So I didn't-- hence "go-dev" as the image name, however...
None of that logic applies to Github. A repository in Github isn't implicitly a Docker image as it is in Dockerhub. It could be anything. i.e. Prefixing "go-dev" with "docker", to me at least, wasn't redundant and also made it crystal clear that the repository was the source of the Dockerfile for the "go-dev" Docker image.

Good points all around. I don't feel that strongly about it, so that probably argues for leaving it as-is.
Let's leave this open, at least short term, until someone else weighs in.
No one else has sounded off on this. I guess we can close?
I tend to avoid bikeshedding arguments. It's a little confusing but idc all that much :)
