New description:

 I am a manager at Cray Supercomputers, where we have recently started
 using Buildbot. Some of our employees have found the Master/Slave
 terminology offensive. Please consider changing this terminology to
 Master/Worker.

 Some notes on how we communicate on this bug may be salient:

  * Buildbot does have a
 [https://github.com/buildbot/botherders/blob/master/policies/conduct.md
 code of conduct] - please be mindful of it when posting
  * By proposing this as part of the project's MOSS application, which has
 been funded, we have committed to making this change.  As such, arguments
 that Buildbot should not make this change are not particularly relevant.

 BOUNTY: US$10,000 -- see BountyProgram

 ----

 Remaining tasks with this issue (rutsky's TODO list):

 * [x] remove `worker (deprecated)` property (it was deprecated even when
 it was `slave (deprecated)`) - don't forget update relnotes about this!

 * [x] move changes that done without fallback (i.e. introduced in nine
 branch) from worker_transition.rst into release notes of the next beta.

 * [x] copy/rename `buildbot-slave` to `buildbot-worker`.

 * [x] remove `upgrade-slave` command.

 * [ ] update `master/contrib/` scripts (mostly done)

 * [ ] update Trac wiki (add info about `buildbot-worker`, fix links on
 docs, update "slave" in text)

 * [ ] update metabuildbot configuration

 * [ ] take a look how to push new buildbot-worker to different
 distributions (e.g. how to get `buildbot-worker` into Debian and other
 distros).

 Optional items:

 * [ ] Rework tests (make they names to be more uniform).

 * [ ] Check and rename left `sb` (slave builder), `s` (slave), `sbd`
 (slave build dir), `sl`, `slv`, `sbdir`, `'/sl'` variables.

 * [ ] rework warnings helper to use them as UnitTest-derived class mixin.

 * [ ] replace inlined class name in WorkerForBuilderBase with
 __class__.__name__.
