processing entity not defined and ambigous #301

Processing entities are named quite a lot in current spec. However there is no definition for it. Sometimes holders are being interchanged.

'Processing entities' could be confusing, as it now typically seems to be used for holders. From the context of processing a presentation definition that might make sense. But if you actually look at it from a verifier perspective, given they are on the receiving end of a VP and submission data, processing entity could also make sense.

Suggest to either define the term, but probably better to remove it altogether an replace by holders/verifiers/wallets etc.

Happy perform that task btw.
