Programs should not be nested inside Workflow

Description

Currently a workflow can only run map/reduce jobs that are defined inside the workflow specification. It would be better if the workflow could run any program that is included in the application.

That allows reuse of a program in multiple workflows (with different runtime arguments).
Unclutters the UI when looking at the programs of an app. (currently shows <workflow name>_<mapreduce name>
That will also remove the need for specifying map/reduce programs nested inside a workflow. We should deprecate and eventually remove support for that.
