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'.
