Description

## Rename `node` library

Obviously, `node` is the perfect name for this library, but it leads to confusion for `dune` when using it on Deku (I guess, the struggle will be the same for a lot of blockchain client...)

[Quick description of the change you want to make or add]

`Client` and `Node` cannot be merged because of dependency cycle with `Failure_detector`.

Going for a synonym of `Node` like `knot` looks not pretty good, and using a flower term, doesn't seem explicit enough (`pistil` for example)

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

Research direction

Start by locating the OCaml library and Dune references to `node`; the issue does not name any files or tests. First determine and agree on the replacement name, then identify all affected references and dependency boundaries involving `Client`, `Node`, and `Failure_detector`. Done means the library is consistently renamed without reintroducing the dependency cycle and the project still builds.
