Re: [P1619-2] Byte vs. Octet

The P1619.2/D9 draft uses both the terms 'byte' and 'octet'. We should pick one of these terms and use it consistently throughout. In the context of storage encryption (like P1619.2), I tend to prefer 'byte'. 'Octet' seems to be more popular for network protocols (like P1619.3).

I recommend that we use octet to match the usual IETF style.
