bip141: Change 'block cost' to 'block weight'

The term 'block cost' led to confusion about the unit that it is expressed in, in that it expressed monetary cost. Change it to a more general term 'block weight'. This was discussed in the [2016-07-14 Bitcoin Core developer meeting](http://www.erisian.com.au/meetbot/bitcoin-core-dev/2016/bitcoin-core-dev.2016-07-14-19.00.html).
