Subject: scripts/deprecated_terms: recommend denylist/allowlist instead of blacklist/whitelist
This commit recommends that patches replace 'blacklist' and 'whitelist'
with 'denylist' and 'allowlist', because the new suggestions are
incontrovertible, doesn't make people hurt, and are more self-explanatory.
