Re: [wake-lock] Rename system to compute or similar (#177)

I'm generally in favor of not changing names exposed through bindings unless we have evidence the current names cause confusion, and there's a better alternative that would significantly improve the situation. Any names we choose, will be misunderstood by some.

What we can do in the context of this issue first without renaming `WakeLockType` enum values is to make sure the descriptions of these terms are as accurate and complete reflections of reality as possible:

>A **screen wake lock** prevents the screen from turning off. Only visible documents can acquire the wake lock.
>A **system wake lock** prevents the CPU from entering a deep power state. This may also prevent communication chips such as celular or Wi-Fi from sleeping.

If the clarified descriptions are in conflict with the enum values, that makes for a stronger case to renamed the values too.
