Fixes: #7735

Gav noted in the forum that he has been using the term "pure proxy", so this is a simple rename which changes that.

This should have no runtime breaking changes, but APIs like Polkadot JS will probably need to do a rename to make this functionality work again, and also to update the branding of this kind of proxy account.

idea: It would have been awesome if somehow we could also generate a #[deprecated] section in the metadata. Then, tools like PJS api and subxt can still support the deprecated method name, but similar to #[deprecated] within rust, emit a warning that they should rename it to something else.

Might be a big engineering mountain to climb initially, but it could potentially ease the development downstream a lot.

I think this still causes major confusion because the word proxy is still used for two different things:

Alice is a democracy proxy on the pure proxy Bob.

The number of people I've tried to explain the difference between Alice being a proxy and Bob being a different proxy is extremely confusing and I would suggest we call it pure account not pure proxy

Alice is a democracy proxy on the pure proxy Bob.

This doesn't make any sense though. What does pure account express? What makes an account created to access via proxy more pure than one accessed via cryptographic key or multisig?

@shawntabrizi don't you think calling this a proxy is a bad idea? Overloading the word proxy for both a permission on an account as well as an account itself makes this extremely awkward:

Alice is a democracy proxy on the pure proxy Bob.

We use pure proxies as you call them quite extensively and no one in the team actually understands that the word proxy is used for two very different things.

I apologize for my earlier comment, I think it's merely the wiki that is still not up to date on the new language.
