Let's see...

flex-align => flex-group-align
flex-item-align => flex-align
flex-pack => flex-group-justify
flex-line-pack => flex-group-pack

Or, try it the other way around:

flex-align => flex-align
flex-item-align => flex-box-align
flex-pack => flex-justify
flex-line-pack => flex-pack

I'm not sure if either of these are actually an improvement over what
we currently have.  :/  I'm inclined to just keep the current names
until we get the proper generic names.
