documentation, let's unify it all over the documentation!

Currently there are ~20 usages of "website" spelling (as one word, without
capitalization) and ~50 of "web site" one (as two words, with "Web"
capitalized) but according to AP stylebook and The Chicago Manual of
Style, it is the "website" spelling that should be used from now on.
For reference please check p. ex. the following:

So, I'm gonna update the existing documentation and the guidelines, so the
usages would be coherent :)
