Add glossary #102

Description

@srvanderplas

Request in-person was made to add a glossary to the book. Seems like a good idea, with the following issues...

Minimal features:

  • ability to define terms within the quarto document (ideally) as well as outside of the document
  • ability to include synonyms and abbreviations and mark them appropriately
  • compile to glossary section in the end matter of the book, with automatic alphabetization and/or sort by chapter options

This might actually get fairly complex -- keeping track of where a term is defined may be difficult, especially across multiple files and folders of qmd files. I can see why the existing quarto-glossary extension uses a glossary YML file and doesn't do in-text definitions that are maintained across documents.
