Usage of "dvote" name (and also gateway VS node) #64

Description

@ed255

Some of the documents contain diagrams where a piece called "DVote" appears, like this https://docs.vocdoni.io/architecture/component-interaction.html#prior-to-voting

It seems that dvote is a legacy name that was commonly used to identify client libraries interfacing the vocdoni-node. As a newcomer this is confusing because I see a piece called DVote but the text doesn't make any reference to it and I need to figure out what that is.

I also sometimes have trouble distinguishing the definition between vocdoni node and vocdoni gateway. For example, we have the repository vocdoni-node but it contains code to run a gateway. Is a gateway a superset of a node? if so, maybe the repository should be vocdoni-gateway?
