Use "Razor component" and avoid "Blazor component"

[guardrex]

Description

I'm going to move this over from a GH discussion because I'm having good luck 🍀 thus far getting MS pubs updated on the point, and I hope we'll be able to address the lingering instances of "Blazor component" in frameworks. Separately, I've opened this for the ASP.NET Core team (dotnet/aspnetcore) at dotnet/aspnetcore#40344, and they've agreed to my sending a PR to update it there.

Mirroring the discussion remarks that I posted at #4799 ...

The term "Blazor component" is valid informal naming for Razor components, which is the official, formal name. See my remarks here ...

dotnet/docs-maui#295

I recommend that in the few spots in framework code where the term "Blazor component" appears that it be changed to either "Razor component" or just "component" to resolve the dual-naming problem and completely align the framework code/API docs with the Blazor docs.

Public API Changes

"Blazor component" only appears in three files here, usually in comments that will resolve to API docs ...

If you'd entertain a PR from me to update these spots, I'll create a PR to knock it out 🥊. Let me know 📣👂.

Intended Use-Case

"Blazor component" has slipped out a little bit into the community, but I think we can head off further wide adoption by stomping it out NOW 🏃 ... quickly 🏃🏃. Future generations will thank us! 😄

@guardrex I think a PR would be great if you have time!

Thanks @guardrex . Should this be closed now ?

btw ... Your guidance for PR submissions says not to use "fixes" but to use "implements" instead. Not sure if that guidance was by-design or not. Just letting you know why this stayed open.

@guardrex oh that's a bit weird. I'll contact some other MAUI folks to see if that was deliberate.
