Issue body
### What needs to get done
`simple` profile could be renamed to point that by default we're creating a Kubernetes charm. Example name I could think of: `basic-kubernetes`.
### Why it needs to get done
Although we know from the `charmcraft --help init` that `simple` is the default profile, we don't know what it creates. The `simple` profile contains almost the same things as `kubernetes` profile (with differences in `simple` having a `config.yaml` and `httpbin` image defined), but it's unclear it is a Kubernetes charm.
