Based on Jiri's feedback[1], I'm updating the replacement suggestion of blacklist
from blocklist to denylist, as the previous one might be confused to block
layer people. Also, the new recommendation is more short ;)

Subject: [PATCH v3.1] scripts/deprecated_terms: Recommend denylist/allowlist
instead of blacklist/whitelist

This commit recommends the patches to replace 'blacklist' and
'whitelist' with the 'denylist' and 'allowlist', because the new
suggestions are incontrovertible, doesn't make people hurt, and more
self-explanatory.
