Fluent-bit: [community] Change blacklist/whitelist to denylist/allowlist
What
- Inspired by https://twitter.com/carolstran/status/1035547140016287746?s=12, usage of whitelist/blacklist seems offensive.
- It would be nice to change whitelist/blacklist to allowlist/denylist, that has just as understandable and avoid the questions entirely.

Thanks for raising this ticket.
The proposed naming change might introduce a compatibility issue, for short: break thousands of systems. So this is something that can be addressed in the long term if Fluent Bit community of users wants it.
Dear community, if you have a concern and think the current blacklist/whitelist namings are offensive to you, please upvote this comment so we can take the proper actions with a safe migration plan (long term).
Note: I am a 100% Latino and I don't find this offensive to me, but if you feel this should be changed I am pretty open to doing it. Community matters, but the community must decide (not me on this case).
