nomenclature: "field" vs "property" #1301
Description
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aopencontainers%2Fruntime-spec%20field&type=code
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aopencontainers%2Fruntime-spec+property&type=code
The terminology should be unified to either "field" or "property".
This issue is not specific to runtime-spec; the same nomenclature should be applied to image-spec and distribution-spec as well.

+1 As a semi-random contributor I've been struggling with the nomenclature myself :) There's also the term "object" used in some parts.
Would/should the term be used in all levels of the hierarchy, e.g. we have
linux.resources.memory.limitsolinux,linux.resourcesetc would all be properties/fields?
