Clean up language/APIs surrounding use of word 'dir' #33

Description

@jhiemstrawisc

When I first started working on Lotman, I wasn't very careful with some of my language (in part because I wasn't totally sure what I was implementing!).

Instead of referring to "dirs", the code should probably only refer to paths.

Wherever there's an API with dir in the name, e.g. lotman_get_lots_from_dir(), I should deprecate that API in favor of a new API that uses the term 'paths' without deleting the old API.

How to handle deprecation? I may take inspiration from my earlier work here:
