Rename sidebars to something more appropriate

Description

The things that we put widgets into are no longer just sidebars. Maybe they never were just sidebars. Widgets go into areas that can literally be displayed anywhere within themes.

Proposal: rename "Sidebars" to "Widget Areas".

Discuss.

Outside of the API, I don't think anything would need to change to "implement" this. We don't actually use "sidebar" in the UI, best I can tell, unless that is the name of a sidebar as provided by the theme. Perhaps some of the help text can be altered slightly, but a lot of it already talks about "widget areas".
