We should clarify terms so as to avoid confusing readers

There's a fair bit of confusion in the community about how this calculation works. I suggest we all agree on the same set of terms for the various components of the calculation.

One source would be the Yellow Paper, although I think that is pretty poorly done and most likely the source of most of the confusion.

Another source is EthHub (https://docs.ethhub.io/ethereum-basics/monetary-policy/) which may or may not have establish wording for the various components.

A third source would be ourselves, but if we do that, we should feed our work back into EthHub.

In my work, I use these terms:

Field	Meaning
blockNumber	the block number of the record
timestamp	the timestamp of the block
period	the date of the timestamp above
baseReward	the base reward issuance ignoring uncleReward
nephewReward	the additional reward given to the beneficiary (miner) of the block for included uncles
blockReward	the total reward delivered to the beneficiary (winning miner)
uncleReward	the reward issued to the miners of each uncle blocks (if any)
issuance	the total new issuance for the block

Totally open to discussion.

A few other term to define:

Field	Meaning
beneficiary	the winning miner
parent block	the current block being rewarded (blockNumber above)
uncle block	a block appearing in the uncle's list of a canonical block
nephew block	a block that 'has one or more uncles'. Note: nephewBlocks are not 'children of uncles'
uncle miner	the address that appears in the 'miner' field of an uncle block
uncle block number	the block number that appears in the uncle block
