Make platforms more like tags about galaxy HOT 6 OPEN

@gregdek cool. i'll get started on this, since I have my Galaxy hat on this week.

Resolving this issue would also resolve the current lack of support for recent Amazon Linux platforms, thus I won't create separate issues for these:

• Amazon Linux 2 2017.12
• Amazon Linux AMI 2017.09
• Amazon Linux AMI 2017.03

For this planned solution to work well, consistent naming is essential. This could be encouraged through examples or a brief guide how to find existing platforms.

I'm inclined to agree. Seems clear that by mandating certain platforms, we've become a bottleneck.

What we lose is the ability to enforce uniformity -- but you can't have everything. Means that our fuzzy search may have to be a bit better, and also means that role owners will have incentive to make sure the platforms they choose are easily discoverable.

@gregdek thoughts or concerns?

I'm hoping to prevent us from going here: ansible/ansible#18109 I think we can make the platforms experience a much better one.

Since I basically have to file a bug on basically every import I do: Are there any plans to improve this situation?

good issue!
