Originally, people used "extend a PCR with a measurement" or "measure some blob into the PCR". In our docs those uses got merged into "extend a string into a PCR". The meaning is clear to developers, but it's a very jargony syntax that wouldn't make any sense to somebody who encounters it the first time. Let's return to the more natural original phrasing. Also, change various "this is supposed to act as" to "this acts as". If it doesn't work, we have a bug to fix. This indirection is not useful. Also, "boot path" → "phase path" and other smaller cleanups.
