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. Closes scylladb/scylladb#28170
