Subject: Remove term blacklist from Sphinx repo
Feature or Bugfix
Purpose
Many organizations (including my employer) have inclusive language policies. There are a few references to a commonly banned term, 'blacklist'. This PR removes those few references.
Detail
In some cases some organizations might limit or bar the use of Sphinx if automated checkers like Acrolinx find this term in files like doctools.js after sphinx documentation is generated.
