docs: added a glossary to support SEO tactics

Browse Source 
This commit is a result of Assisted PR Process for PR #1515.  It
deviates from it in that the original commits were not retained as the
original commit structure was unnecessarily complex - the same commit
was added to two parallel branches which were then merged, producing the
same result in the end as any of the original two non-merge commits.
Also, a squash was requested by an original PR review.

Other changes to the original PR were changing capitalisation of the word
"Kubelet" in Glossary.md to placate spell checker and fixing link names and
syntax.

The original commit message follows:

The terms added are: Kata Containers, container software, container
runtime interface, virtual machine software, container virtualization,
container security solutions, serverless containers, pod containers,
virtual machine monitor, private cloud, infrastructure architecture,
public cloud, and auto scaling.

Fixes: #1509

## B
## C
### Container Security Solutions
The process of implementing security tools and policies that will give you the assurance that everything in your container is running as intended, and only as intended.
### Container Software
A standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another.
### Container Runtime Interface
A plugin interface which enables Kubelet to use a wide variety of container runtimes, without the need to recompile.
### Container Virtualization
A container is a virtual runtime environment that runs on top of a single operating system (OS) kernel and emulates an operating system rather than the underlying hardware.
## D
## E
## F

## H
## I
### Infrastructure Architecture
A structured and modern approach for supporting an organization and facilitating innovation within an enterprise.

## V
### Virtual Machine Monitor
Computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines.
### Virtual Machine Software
