Change naming conventions for cores and memory

See original GitHub issue

Currently cluster objects in this project take in keywords like the following:

cluster = FooCluster(threads=4, processes=8, memory="16GB")

Where threads means threads-per-process and memory means memory-per-process.

However, I suspect that changing the meaning of these terms to the following might be more intuitive for users and administrators:

cluster = FooCluster(cores=32, processes=8, memory="128GB")

This would be a breaking change, but given how small and well connected the current user base is this seems doable.

Also a bit tangential but I have to say that when reading the dask-worker --help about --memory-limit, I would have guessed that --memory-limit is about the dask-worker memory limit and not a per-process memory limit.
