Rename "Linked Data Proofs" to "Data Integrity".

[peacekeeper]

This updates the name and link for the Data Integrity draft specification that was previously called "Linked Data Proofs", and is mentioned in the proposed Verifiable Credentials Working Group Charter. This may not yet be the final name of that specification.

Fixes #858.

See github pull request vc-data-model#859.

Manu Sporny: Renaming LD Proofs to Data Integrity, by Markus.
… I haven't approved it yet, looks like it does what it says, looks good to me.
… It's a change we've made across the board.
… Anyone on the call concerned with this?.
… We had just 1 day period on this PR...

Brent Zundel: I think we need a resolution what we will merge next week.

Manu Sporny: This will go in.

This pull request still uses "Linked Data Proofs" for the title of section 6.3.2. Moreover, this section says

The Linked Data Proofs format was designed to simply and easily protect
<a>verifiable credentials</a> and <a>verifiable presentations</a>. Protecting
a <a>verifiable credential</a> or <a>verifiable presentation</a> is as simple
as passing a valid example in this specification to a Linked Data Signatures
implementation and generating a digital signature.

I think using at the same time Linked Data Proofs, Linked Data Signatures, and Data integrity will create confusion.

@nikosft thanks for pointing that out. I added one more commit which I think renames those additional occurrences I missed previously.

No objections noted and requests have been addressed by the author. Multiple positive reviews and the 14 day period has lapsed. Merging.
