Rename Book.sections to Book.items#2813

This renames the "sections" list to "items". In practice, this list has contained more than just "sections" since parts were added. Also, the rest of the code consistently uses the term "items", since the values it contains are called `BookItem`s. Finally, the naming has always been a little confusing to me. This is a very disruptive change, and I'm not doing it lightly. However, since there are a number of other API changes going into 0.5, I think now is an ok time to change this.

mdbook changed in the most recent versions to rename sections to items to better represent the usage, this means the claircore hook also needs to be updated to work with the latest versions. Note: this means claircore will no longer work with mdbook versions lower than v0.5.0. rust-lang/mdBook#2813 Signed-off-by: crozzy <joseph.crosland@gmail.com>
