Thanks everybody. I have compiled together all the suggestions and the
result is in the attached patch. Some of it is of my own devising.
* I changed "instance", and made "cluster" be mostly a synonym of that.
* I removed "global SQL object" and made "SQL object" explain it.
* Added definitions for ACID, sequence, bloat, fork, FSM, VM, data page,
transaction ID, epoch.
* Changed "a SQL" to "an sql" everywhere.
* Sorted alphabetically.
* Removed caps in term names.
I think I should get this pushed, and if there are further suggestions,
they're welcome.
Dim Fontaine and others suggested a number of terms that could be
included; see https://twitter.com/alvherre/status/1246192786287865856
