Botond Dénes 6f5f42305a docs: make the glossary more tablet inclusive
Our glossary is stuck in the past, still discussing token ownership in
terms of vnodes and cluster synchronization in terms of gossip.
This patch tries to improve this a bit, although much more work needs to
be done.
The term `Tablet` is added and the definition of `Token` and `Token
Range` is rephrased to be tablet inclusive.
The term `Cluster` is changed to mention raft as the synchronization
mechanism instead of gossip.

One oustanding problem is that our general architecture page describing
the ring acrhitecture is still Vnode only. We have a seprate Tablets
page, but the two don't link to each other and most documentation refer
only to the former. A casual reader might be able to spend a a lot of
time on our documentation page, without even seeing the word: tablets.
