Jay Pipes 4e38b72ee8 Rework glossary definition of Workloads (#15987)
This patch turns the glossary entry for "workloads" into "workload" in
order to be consistent with other terms in the glossary. In addition,
the definition is modified to match what the overlay tip for the
"Workload" tag at the top of the glossary page says, which is
"Applications running on Kubernetes".

A workload is *not* a core object itself. Rather, it is a general
concept. Various other core objects describe different types of
workloads, and the glossary definition is appropriately modified to make
that clear.

A workload is an application running on Kubernetes.

Various core objects that represent different types or parts of a workload include the DaemonSet, Deployment, Job, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet objects.

For example, a workload that has a web server and a database might run the database in one {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="StatefulSet" >}} and the web server in a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="Deployment" >}}.
