Summary

Cleanup: "Dupli" to "Instance".

Following the T56648: Blender 2.8: Naming Conventions

Duplication -> Instancing
Status: Done
In the context of Particle instances, Collection instances, and the old DupliVerts/DupliFaces, which also creates instances.
Instances are a unique feature that saves memory, which isn't communicated by the term 'duplication'.
Actually duplicating objects and items should still use the term 'duplicate'.

Someone with more idea about the history here like @Pablo Vazquez (pablovazquez) should probably look into this, but the changes look good to me.

Okay, I think this is fine, since the guidelines have been clearly established and are followed elsewhere.

It's a great improvement to use "Instance" everywhere instead of "dupli".
