This RFC proposes to rename the DLContext to DLDevice. DLContext indicates a device for Tensor and ops. Two main reasons for this change:

• The "DLContext" name doesn’t intuitively reflect its semantics of a device.
• Mainstream frameworks including TensorFlow and PyTorch both use device to represent the device to run. I think it’d be good that we use similar terminology to reduce the confusion.

This change will require downstream projects to change accordingly. Feel free to bring up your thoughts and concerns.

Meanwhile, we have a similar RFC for the name change in TVM discuss forum.
