identifiers: Rename some functions and types related to SWHIDs

Antoine Lambert requested to merge generated-differential-D3412-source into generated-differential-D3412-target

When Software Heritage persistent identifiers were introduced, they were not yet abbreviated as SWHIDs.

Now that abbreviation is growing adoption, rename some functions and types in swh.model.identifiers for consistency:

  • PersistentId -> SWHID

  • persistent_identifier -> swhid

  • parse_persistent_identifier -> parse_swhid

Backward compatibility with previous naming is maintained but deprecation warnings are introduced to encourage the use of the new names.

Numerous variables in swh.model codebase have also been renamed accordingly.

Also rework and improve documentation.
