Use term "package"

Closed Bryan R requested to merge wip/use-package-terminology into master

"unit" is sort of a GHC-specific term. Head.hackage is definitely building Cabal packages so we can avoid some confusion by just calling them "packages". This is probably easier for users to understand.

Some discussion about this came during Zurihac 2023. For instance, https://youtu.be/XfTinQPjDQw?t=2774 where SPJ suggests a more distinct split between "units" and "packages". It also came up while discussing head.hackage itself, but I don't remember where or if it was recorded.
