Assigning all documentation related issues to 1.2 final since they don't represent a change to the codebase

I don't think the term Functional Testing is the source of any significant confusion and is pretty well understood in this context. The authors of Canoo Webtest use the term. There exists the Webdriver Function Testing plugin, the Grails Functional Testing plugin and others which use the term. I think changing our terminology at this point would cause confusion, not eliminate it.

To miname something because others misname it too, is bad.
