Target name refactoring

ok so refactored action targets and their relationships would look like this

obmc-host-start
  -> Requires: obmc-chassis-power-on

obmc-host-shutdown
  -> Requires: obmc-host-stop
    -> Requires: obmc-chassis-power-off

The synch targets would follow similar conventions, I may break that
into a separate task since the action targets are what users interact
with and I'd like to get done ASAP.
