This replaces some noninclusive terms used in different files with more neutral alternatives. There are no functional changes.

Code Review

This pull request updates terminology across various files, including configuration, scripts, tutorials, and source code comments, to use more precise, standard, and inclusive language. Specifically, terms like 'dummy', 'normal', 'native', 'master', 'stupid', and 'kills' have been replaced with 'placeholder', 'basic'/'ordinary'/'standard', 'built-in', 'main', 'suboptimal', and 'eliminates'. I have no feedback to provide.

(Ableism and social prejudices.) One outdated and offensive definition
of the word dummy is a person who cannot speak. It also can be used to
mean ignorant. While dummy is a popular and often-used term (including
the book series titles), it has at least one meaning which is
offensive and there are numerous direct replacement options allowing
current code and document writers an easy transition to words equally
as expressive without offensive meanings.
