Made use of more inclusive terminology in place of the bias jargon.
This change has no impact on any functionality. The intention to simply swap out static text.

  1. blocklist is not a very correct term. The things that are in blacklists are not technically blocked in bandit.
  2. replacing master ... do you thing M. of Sc. degree should also be renamed?

Overall:

  1. It is the campaign of replacement of neutral terms with the words white and black racist (we in Russia have an idiom that can literaly be translated into English as "the thief has his hat burning", usually attributed to a folk story about an improvised guilty-knowledge test to detect thieves at market and meaning the situation when someone socially inacceptable (i.e. the thief from the story) trying to play innocent (in the story it'd be to just ignore the scream, rather that touching the hat) but fails because he is a bad actor), not the words being replaced.
  2. About the word master, it again has multiple meanings, owner of slaves is only one of them.

This breaks backward compatibility. Users may already be using blacklist in a automated command line or custom config file. It needs to handle both new and old terminology.

Also, there is a duplicate, earlier, and competing PR: #627
