Inclusive language

https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/inclusive_language_summary/75821819

This is an attempt to collate Inclusive Language for OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project in regards to code.

If a BB variable has a local assginment, the rename should be transitive. Example: BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST is changes to BB_HASHBASE_ALLOWLIST, then self.basewhitelist would become self.baseallowlist

Recommended replacements for 'blacklist/whitelist' are:

blacklist	whiltelist
denylist	allowlist
blocklist	passlist
excludelist	includelist

Exceptions for introducing new usage is limited upstream sources outside the control of The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded.
