Add glossary page for Switchboard
Why is this change being made?
As we're working to refine the functionality and scope of Switchboard, we are running into confusion RE: the meaning of specific terms and concepts as they relate to Switchboard. @andlovu raised this idea in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/gitlab-dedicated/team/-/issues/2259
Some of this information may eventually be moved to the docs site, but for now this will give the team a place to document and iterate on the definitions of important terms.
I also expect that we will come across gaps/confusion in the process of putting this page and MR together which will help guide where further discussion is needed.
