Term standardization: dead/down server -> down server

[Zhengxi Li <lz...@hotmail.com>]

Hi ATS dev community,

I am writing to collect feedback on PR #9582<https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/9582> .

The Issue
Issue #7283<https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/issues/7283> records the issue of using dead server and down serverin the configurations interchangeably, which has caused confusion in the field when inspecting issues(e.g. making one wonder the distinction between dead and down).

Changes
This PR standardizes those terms to down server. The following configuration and metric items(and their documentation) are updated:

  *   proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_max_retries_dead_server -> proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_max_retries_down_server
  *   proxy.config.http.connect.dead.policy -> proxy.config.http.connect.down.policy
  *   proxy.process.http.dead_server.no_requests -> proxy.process.http.down_server.no_requests

In addition to the above, other usage of the term "dead server" and the like has been updated (mainly in hostDB and http).

Any feedback on PR #9582<https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/9582> is greatly appreciated!


Thanks,

Zhengxi

Unifying on either down or dead would probably be fine. You chose "down"
which seems fine to me. In either case, not using a mix of terms will be
verfy helpful. Thank you for working on this.
