Review Comment:
   Good observation, @zentol. This is where I was struggling as well. Here are 
some context why I was slightly leaning towards trigger:
   1. The new APIs in this PR is for manual trigger of a checkpoint and it may 
or may not end up with a checkpoint (it could end up with a failure and return 
with a failure cause, before it can reach `CheckpointCoordinator`)
   2. The checkpoint trigger status is queried by trigger id and its value is 
read from `DispatcherOperationCaches` which has only 5 min cache duration by 
default, so it is more of a trigger status than checkpoint status.
   3. There are already other APIs for querying checkpoint metadata and 
details, which should cover all the retained checkpoints for the application - 
don't want to confuse user with them.
   
   Meanwhile I have to admit 
   1. each manual trigger only corresponds to at-most 1 checkpoint in the 
`DispatcherOperationCaches` thus it is making it confusing.
   2. this is very similar to savepoint logic, which has no "trigger" for its 
API or class names.
   
   That's why I was struggling and slightly leaning towards having "trigger" in 
the API and class names. However if you still feel strongly the naming should 
be without "trigger", I have no problem removing them.
   
   I may missed something and feel free to let me know.
