Replace deadlock word in docs #363

Description

@xolra0d

Hi. Deadlock is a scary word, which describes a situation when multiple threads are unable to progress, because each waits for one other to release resources.

However, this is not what happens in dashmap. I believe it would be benefiting to replace the word deadlock for more meaningful one (blocking).

For example:

get_mut()

Get a mutable reference to an entry in the map

Locking behaviour: This method is blocking and will wait until all references into the map are dropped.
