bip3: rename 'shareholder' to 'stakeholder'

Shareholder refers to an individual or a legal entity owning a share of a company's share capital.
Since the Bitcoin system is not a company, but different actors across the industry have a stake in
its operation, i think the word "stakeholder" better conveys the intended meaning of the original
author here.
