Add an aliases: clock → on, fn → map in sample?

[demark]

Hi folks, before opening an issue, I wanted to discuss adding an aforementioned aliases in sample for consistency and easier adoption across various teams experienced with other community-popular state/flow managers. I've just read #721 brought up by @igorkamyshev and kinda agree that Effector uses some uncommon api terms that makes it more difficult for onboarding. Adding these aliases should be straightforward and non-breaking.

Here is the rationale:

1. Alias for clock → on. Firstly, this makes it easier for adoption for newcomers due to common use of on for any sort of triggers. Secondly, it would look consistent with $store.on(trigger, ...) api. I have seen (and used) dozen of state/flow managers and have never seen usage of clock term for triggers.
2. Alias for fn → map. Although it is described as combinator function, it could be conceptually described as a mapper function. And again, map is common, widely used and familiar way to transform data. Finally, that looks consistent with $store.map(...) (but not the same though).

Any thoughts?

I think, i agree with @sergeysova arguments in the #721 🤔

Just changing current terms to more common ones will require a lot of work on correcting docs, providing explanations about this transition - looks like it will create more confusion since there will be two words for the same thing 🤔

Also many reactive libraries do have their own "language" - e.g. react with its hooks, props, renders, special understanding of effects, etc.
In case of react it is handled by awesome official documentation (which is basically developed by special team) and lots of entry-level articles all over the internet.

I think, that issue with effector "language" also can be solved by documentation 🤔

e.g. if we add "Concepts" section in the docs with explanations on what is a clock or source - it will help new users with understanding of api terms and all of the existing content will remain actual, without confusing notes about aliases
