[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Help requested: updating terminology in the docs

Hi all,

Our fantastic technical services student worker -- Cheyenne Jones --
went through the official docs, replacing the out-of-date terms
"copy", "volume", and "copy location" with the consistent terms
"item", "call number", and "shelving location".  Her work can be found
here: https://github.com/Cheyenne-jones/Evergreen

Cheyenne can no longer work on this project, but she made a great
start.  I think the next steps are to:

1) Do some light checking of Cheyenne's commits for any false
positives (there should not be very many, since Cheyenne was comparing
these pretty carefully against a recent version of Evergreen)
2) Apply Cheyenne's changes to master and rel_3_2 branches (you would
have to be a docs committer to do this part)
3) Remain vigilant for other inconsistencies in terminology in the
documentation.

I'm going to have really limited time in the next few weeks.  Are any
of you able to work on steps 1 and 2?  It would be great to get these
changes in before 3.3 is released.

Thanks,

   -Jane
