"Blacklist" and "Whitelist" Labeling

Hi Pi-hole team!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making Pi-Hole so great and versatile. I have really appreciated it.

One minor suggestion to the team—I'd recommend changing "Blacklist" to "Block List" and "Whitelist" to "Allow List".

There's conflicting research on the etymology/history of "blacklist" and "whitelist", but even if it's not conclusively tied to a racial subtext or history—it's a minor change that makes the Pi-Hole feel more inclusive.

Thanks for the consideration.
