Add a glossary
We should add a glossary section to define formal terms that are used throughout the spec but do not appear in the C++ "terms and definitions" section.
This probably includes at least:
- collective
- affinity
- rank
- thread (or OS thread)
- shared segment
- local
- remote

Where would we like the glossary? after the Overview and Scope, or as a section within that chapter?

#47for definition of "collective." -
I've written the first version. A lot is based on text provided in the Spec itself. Note the following Right now we talk about "Operation Completion" Should we instead use a simpler term "completion?"
Section 4.9 refers to thread as A"\upcxx device referred to as thread persona which generalizes the notion of operating system threads." There is probably a better word than "device, " perhaps construct instead?

Thanks Scott - I did some additional cleanup.
I'm satisfied with the initial version of the Glossary, we can open new issues for any quibbles over wording of particular entries.
