glossary: add definitions for dereference & peel
Add 'gitglossary' definitions for "dereference" (as it used for both symrefs and objects) and "peel". These terms are used in options and documentation throughout Git, but they are not clearly defined anywhere and the behavior they refer to depends heavily on context. Provide explicit definitions to clarify existing documentation to users and help contributors to use the most appropriate terminology possible in their additions to Git. Update other definitions in the glossary that use the term "dereference" to link to 'def_dereference'. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
