Vocabulary change suggestion: bait -> attractant #391

Bait has the same origin as the word "bite". It seems to be used more broadly here, however, including use cases like sound, pheromones, light, etc. We suggest changing the term to "attractant". This would make it clearer by reflecting the intended meaning as well as having a greater potential for use across different taxa.

(This came up as a part of the development of the InsectAI extension)
