Replacing the master/slave terminology

[MauricioFauth]

We should replace the master and slave terminology when possible. We can't completely remove this terms because it's a MySQL/MariaDB terminology.

MariaDB began replacing the terms with the primary and replica pair and already added replica as an alias for slave.

MySQL related issue: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=99806
MariaDB related issue: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-18777

Update: MariaDB is replacing the terms with primary and replica and MySQL is replacing the terms with source and replica.

So, is it as simple as replacing all ocurrences of master in UI to primary and slave to replica?
Can I do it?

Sure @rajat315315 you can do it but be cautious about some cases where the words can not be replaced :)
