"RDF node" and "node" in SHACL document

The SHACL document uses "RDF node" in several places.  However, RDF node is
not a term defined in RDF.  The replacement should probably be "RDF term".

In other places, only "node" is used, in particular at the beginning of
section 3.  "Node" only has a definition in RDF in the context of a particular
graph.  This causes problems for targets that are not nodes in the data graph,
as in

Data graph

ex:i1 rdf:type ex:c .


Shapes graph

se:rdf:type sh:Shape ;
  sh:targetNode ex:i2 ;
  sh:class ex:c .

Some occurrences of "node" should probably be replaced with "RDF term".
