[webpayments] PROPOSAL: Adopt ISO20022 terminology for payer and payee and use synonyms as appropriate (#62)

This proposal is an attempt to resolve the question raised in #59.

PROPOSAL:

In keeping with the WG resolution to try and root our terminology in the ISO20022 data dictionary the WG will adopt the following terms for use in its deliverables:

 * __Creditor__ [Merchant/Payee]
 * __Creditor Agent__ [Merchant/Payee's Payment Service Provider(PSP)]
 * __Debtor__ [Shopper/Payer]
 * __Debtor Agent__ [Shopper/Payer's Payment Service Provider(PSP)]

The WG will supplement these terms with appropriate synonyms as appropriate in order to provide clarity of meaning for the target audience.

Examples: 
 * _"The merchant (creditor) website might store the ..."__
 * _"The buyer (debtor) will register a payment app issued by their bank (debtor agent) ..."__
