Misleading name: "encode" and "decode" should be "encrypt" and "decrypt" #304

Description

https://github.com/Python-World/python-mini-projects/tree/master/projects/Create_script_to_encode_and_decode_text misleadingly has a name and a description which talks about "encoding" and "decoding", where in fact the project's aim is to demonstrate encryption and decryption.

Encryption refers to the process of hiding information, typically using a secret cipher. Encoding is simply a transformation from one representation to another, like base64, or character encoding like Latin-1 <-> UTF-8, or audio/video codec transformations.

I can create a PR if you like, but it seems that merely renaming a directory might be needlessly cumbersome to do in a pull request. However, the documentation should also be updated in accordance with the above. Please advise on how we should proceed.
