hermes: "on-chain registered name", not ".bch name"

Browse source 
Hermes handles are not tied to the .bch TLD — the user's names live on .x
today and the planned Hermes TLDs are .erm/.tel — so the hermes.x site,
the silentmode.st Hermes page and the add-on's description and panel now
say "on-chain registered name" and use alice.x / bob.x as examples.
Add-on wording ships on its own OTA; no version bump here.
