Jim Mussared c737cde947 docs: Replace ufoo with foo in all docs.
Anywhere a module is mentioned, use its "non-u" name for consistency.

The "import module" vs "import umodule" is something of a FAQ, and this
commit intends to help clear that up.  As a first approximation MicroPython
is Python, and so imports should work the same as Python and use the same
name, to a first approximation.  The u-version of a module is a detail that
can be learned later on, when the user wants to understand more and have
finer control over importing.

Existing Python code should just work, as much as it is possible to do that
within the constraints of embedded systems, and the MicroPython
documentation should match the idiomatic way to write Python code.

With universal weak links for modules (via MICROPY_MODULE_WEAK_LINKS) users
can consistently use "import foo" across all ports (with the exception of
the minimal ports).  And the ability to override/extend via "foo.py"
continues to work well.

Paul Sokolovsky 46583e9057 docs/glossary: Elaborate on possible MicroPython port differences.
State that this doc describes generic, "core" MicroPython functionality,
any particular port may diverge in both directions, by both omitting
some functionality, and adding more, both cases described outside the
generic documentation.

Paul Sokolovsky d0797fbc18 docs: Add glossary.
We have enough terms or references throughout the docs which may be not
immediately clear or have some important nuances. Referencing terms in
gloassary is the best way to deal with that.
