refactor: change note to status

Yassine Doghri requested to merge refactor/note-to-status into alpha

This MR is meant to clear things up:

  • Having status updates (ActivityPub Note objects) referred to as "Notes" may confuse podcasters as the terminology is close to "Show Notes".
  • Naming a "status" (or status update) as "note" behind the scenes (in the code) goes against the established convention from any other social media platform.
  • In the user interface, statuses are referred to as "posts".

closes #129 (closed), fixes #135 (closed)
