Review use of OpenID Provider and Issuer terms #200
Description
I understand that the terms "provider" and "issuer" are brought forward from other specs and the context in which they are used matters. The Solid-OIDC spec may further benefit from reviewing the terms and where they are used, whether they are used interchangeably or in very specific context (e.g., roles, in code). For example, the section OIDC Issuer Discovery ( #oidc-issuer-discovery ) includes both "provider" and "issuer". There may be other instances in the document where that clarification can help.

The issuer terminology comes from https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0.html#IssuerDiscovery
OP also is referenced as
issin the ID Token.We can review the current use of those terms and see if something can be improved.
I would think of it in those lines
oidc:Provider a rdfs:Class- names the type of OPoidc:issuer a rdf:Property- names the relation between the user and the OP
