Rename `nbgitpuller` to something more descriptive of new functionality

See original GitHub issue

Proposed change

Now that we are introducing a lot of nice new flexibility for this tool (see #194 ), we might consider renaming it to be more descriptive. The name nbgitpuller will make people assume that we only pull git artifacts, whereas we can now do more than this!

Benefit

The main reason for doing this is to make it easier for potential users and developers to understand the scope of this project. By removing the explicit call-out to git, people might more quickly imagine using this tool for more workflows like Google Drive and Dropbox pulling.

(Optional): Suggest a solution

A few options that were thrown around in a recent meeting (some more serious than others)

nbDataPuller
nbPuller
HubContentPuller
ContentPuller
thing-getter
pullyMcPullface
stuff-grabber

I agree on leaving it as it is currently, because I feel no name is a great fit anyhow, and the extended functionality we may adjust to is optional rather than built in.

I’m going to close this as ‘let us not change it’. Thanks for the discussion everyone!
