Proposal: Rename App

[skade]

Currently, the App object is a mix between a builder (it's the interface to globally manipulating the router) and can be turned into_server and a global entry point into building something that can be called into. I'm not sure if App is a good name for it.

Mainly, it collides with a frequent usage of App in other frameworks, for example, Django uses App four a mountable subapp (basically a collection of endpoints). https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/settings/#installed-apps

Related: do we want to do something more sophisticated with the current "app" concept, like mountable sub-apps and/or the ability to map functions over the application state as you descend the router?

With the #156 revamp, we do intend to allow Apps to be nested; that desire is tracked in #160. I'm closing this issue for the time being.
