This PR replaces the inspector-verifier terminology with "Verifier". I tried this language out at RWoT 5 and people seemed to get it in a way that they then used the terminology correctly (not in a confused manner). I suggest we resolve this and move on, as presenting as "inspector-verifier" is creating issues (people keep asking me why the term is hyphenated... is there another type of verifier? Is there another type of inspector?). I've also noticed a few other companies, other than ours, using "verifier" in their marketing literature.

The PR also replaces "jobTitle -> Student" in the diagram with "jobTitle -> Professor", as a few people have commented that being a student is, arguably, not a job.

Closes #64.
