Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The term 'whitelist' appears in the app settings. To ensure inclusive and neutral terminology, it should be replaced with 'allow list'.

Describe the solution you'd like

Update all instances of 'whitelist' in the UI and documentation to 'allow list'.

Additional context

Using 'allow list' instead of 'whitelist' avoids unintended biases and aligns with modern inclusive language standards. Many organizations have adopted this terminology to promote accessibility and diversity. Updating Nextcloud’s terminology will ensure a more inclusive user experience.
