docs: no more bricks (#1967)
### Summary

We no longer use the "bricks" terminology for partioning functions, etc
in the library. This PR updates various references to bricks within the
repo and the docs. This is just an initial pass to swap the terminology
out, it'll likely be helpful to reorganize the docs a bit as well.

``group_broken_paragraphs``
---------------------------
Groups together paragraphs that are broken up with line breaks
for visual or formatting purposes. This is common in ``.txt`` files.
By default, ``group_broken_paragraphs`` groups together lines split
by ``\n``. You can change that behavior with the ``line_split``
kwarg. The function considers ``\n\n`` to be a paragraph break by
default. You can change that behavior with the ``paragraph_split`` kwarg.
Examples:
.. code:: python
from unstructured.cleaners.core import group_broken_paragraphs
text = """The big brown fox
was walking down the lane.
At the end of the lane, the
fox met a bear."""
group_broken_paragraphs(text)
.. code:: python
import re
from unstructured.cleaners.core import group_broken_paragraphs
para_split_re = re.compile(r"(\s*\n\s*){3}")
text = """The big brown fox
was walking down the lane.
At the end of the lane, the
fox met a bear."""
group_broken_paragraphs(text, paragraph_split=para_split_re)

``translate_text``
------------------
The ``translate_text`` cleaning function translates text between languages. ``translate_text``
uses the `Helsinki NLP MT models <https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP>`_ from
``transformers`` for machine translation. Works for Russian, Chinese, Arabic, and many
other languages.
Parameters:
* ``text``: the input string to translate.
* ``source_lang``: the two letter language code for the source language of the text.
If ``source_lang`` is not specified,
the language will be detected using ``langdetect``.
* ``target_lang``: the two letter language code for the target language for translation.
Defaults to ``"en"``.
Examples:
.. code:: python
from unstructured.cleaners.translate import translate_text
# Output is "I'm a Berliner!"
translate_text("Ich bin ein Berliner!")
# Output is "I can also translate Russian!"
translate_text("Я тоже можно переводать русский язык!", "ru", "en")
