This renames occurrences of "master" in relation to this feature to "prelink" or "prelinked". There are 3 remaining exceptions, which is to default the GENERATE_PRELINK_OBJECT_FILE build setting to GENERATE_MASTER_OBJECT_FILE for backwards compatibility.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
"PRELINK" here rather than "PRELINKED" since there are two other build settings used for this spec which are already called "PRELINK" (see below)

Missed this in #452, just going it add it for now while we're merging branches around to reduce the chance of things going wrong.
