Change Black/White List to Block/Allow list

[jaimegago]

I know the etymology of blacklist/whitelist has nothing to do with racism, yet it adds another stone to the "black is bad/white is good" edifice. So why not change it since we can, it's fairly simple and it doesn't cost anyone anything but to change a technical name?
Also quite frankly as far as software engineering naming goes, Block/Allow are quite better at carrying the meaning of what that code does than Black/White aren't they ;-).

Related PRs - graphite-project/graphite-web#1700 and #591 , probably they can be rebased on latest codebase and merged.

Ah! The change is ready to go, nice!

[deniszh]

well, not exactly, it's from 2016, will require some work

Ok, I created graphite-project/graphite-web#2808 and #943 and tried to rebase / fixed tests, but looks like it's require much more work then I anticipated. :(
So, unfortunately, parking this for now, maybe someone else can contribute or I'll find time bit later. Thanks for understanding!
