llvm dev - Nov 2021 - [RFC] [llvm-cov] Renaming option -name-whitelist to -name-allowlist in llvm-cov

Hi all,

I have recently been working on a few inclusive language patches. One such
patch: https://reviews.llvm.org/D112816 proposes to change the option name
for llvm-cov from -name-whitelist to -name-allowlist.

Following up on the reviewer comment:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D112816#3103937, I plan to mark the
-name-whitelist as a hidden option with comments in its description stating
it will be deprecated and replaced with -name-allowlist in a future release.

Looking for feedback on this proposal.

Thanks,

Zarko

+1 - I made the same change downstream and was looking to upstream it, but you
beat me to it.  Will you also do this for the “whitelist_fun” line prefix?
