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.
