ENGINE modules aren't special, so call them MODULES
The only thing that makes an ENGINE module special is its entry
points. Other than that, it's a normal dynamically loadable module,
nothing special about it. This change has us stop pretending anything
else.
We retain using ENGINE as a term for installation, because it's
related to a specific installation directory, and we therefore also
mark ENGINE modules specifically as such with an attribute in the
build.info files.
