Format the glossary using a Markdown list (#1307) 
This format has two advantages:

- is easier to maintain in the Markdown file. Tables cannot be wrapped
in Markdown, which would severely limit what we can write for each term.
- it can be styled better. The layout now looks more like what you find
in a dictionary.
