Eventing Sources are being renamed to Importers #1417

@grantr

Description

@grantr

What is changing? (Please include as many details as possible.)

We've decided to rename the Source concept to Importer to better convey its nature and avoid conflict with the CloudEvents concept of source.

How will this impact our users?

Users will need to learn that the new term (Importer) refers to the same concept and objects as the old term (Source).

In what release will this take happen (to the best of your knowledge)?

The rename is scheduled for 0.8.

For 0.7, we'd like to prepare users to expect this change. I'm hoping we can add a deprecation notice to the 0.7 docs wherever Source is mentioned saying that the name will soon change to Importer.
