1650950 - Rename blacklist, whitelist, and skiplist in the anti-tracking and url-classifier code

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, task, P3)

Description

[Steven Englehardt [:englehardt]]

We have three types of lists in these parts of the codebase:

1. The domains we want to block (i.e., the blacklist)
2. The domains that we unblock on specific first parties because they belong to the same organization (i.e., the whitelist)
3. The domains that we exempt from classification because of an intervention (i.e., the skipList)

We'd like to migrate this naming to the following:

1. blacklist --> blocklist
2. whitelist --> entitylist; this matches the naming we use on the shavar side
3. skiplist --> exceptionlist; this is both more understandable and avoids the confusing collision with the skiplist data structure
