Per the discussion in the issue, the correct term for a build configured with --disable-gil is "free-threaded build" or "free-threading build" (with the hyphen). To ensure we get this right more often, this adds a glossary term for it.

I didn't bother updating past news entries here; if someone wants me to do that, let me know!

LGTM. I like the addition of "free-threaded build" to the Glossary.

I'll give this a few days to give anyone (particularly Hugo or Sam) a chance to take a look before merging.

Sorry, @ZeroIntensity, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.14 due to a conflict.
Please backport using cherry_picker on command line.
