#32699: Rename the fallback input list to an "offer list"

-------------------------------------------+----------------------
In #24839, we want to replace the list of relay operators who have offered
their relays as fallbacks, with signed statements in descriptors via a
torrc option.
As part of that transition, we should rename the internal variables in the
script, and the file in the repository. I suggest we use "fallback offer
list".
We should also delete any remaining references to the blacklist, because
it is obsolete, and the actual list was removed from the repository some
time ago.
This change also has the benefit of avoiding the "white = good" metaphor,
which can be confusing and problematic. For more details, see:
