Please give the release tarballs a more descriptive name #15

On https://github.com/intel/mpi-benchmarks/releases, the download tarballs are named the release number -- e.g., "v2019.1.tar.gz". This is very confusing when downloading these tarballs into a general "downloads" directory -- there's no indication in the filename what the file is.

Could you please name future release tarballs with a filename that matches the directory name to which the contents expand? This is a quite common convention.

E.g., if your next release tarball follows the same convention as previous releases, it will be named v2019.2.tar.gz, and will expand into a directory named mpi-benchmarks-2019.2 (note the lack of v). It would be great if the tarball was therefore named mpi-benchmarks-2019.2.tar.gz.

I don't have a strong preference as to whether the v precedes the 2019 or not -- just as long as the tarball filename matches the directory name to which it expands.

Please consider this for future releases. Thanks.
