Clarify backend terminology in API and adapter configuration #79

@jc-macdonald

Description

@jc-macdonald

Context: follow-up from PR #75 review comments.

Problem

  • Reviewer flagged potential overload/ambiguity of the term backend in adapter config and compile API discussions.
  • Need clearer naming and documentation to distinguish array namespace selection from other engine/provider concepts.

Scope

  • Propose and apply clearer terminology (for example, array_backend or equivalent) where it improves clarity.
  • Document chosen term and migration/compatibility approach.
  • Ensure config/docs remain aligned between op_system and flepimop2-op_system.

Acceptance criteria

  • Terminology decision documented in code/docs.
  • User-facing config/docs avoid ambiguous backend wording or clearly define it.
  • Any rename/change is backward compatible or explicitly migration-noted.
