orphan/unborn: add to the glossary and use them consistently
To orphan is a verb that denotes the act of getting on an unborn branch, and a few references to "orphan branch" in our documentation are misuses of the word. They caused end-user confusion, which was made even worse because we did not have the term defined in the glossary document. Add entries for "unborn" branch and "orphan" operation to the glossary, and adjust existing documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
