Jay Pipes cbbaf04e72 use glossary defs in overview/components.md (#14721)
This patch promotes re-use of the existing kube-proxy glossary
definition by referencing it from overview/components.md. Similarly, we
move the definition of Container Runtime into a new glossary definition
so that other pages may refer to it.

Kubernetes supports several container runtimes: [Docker](http://www.docker.com),
[containerd](https://containerd.io), [cri-o](https://cri-o.io/),
[rktlet](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/rktlet) and any implementation of
the [Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface)](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/container-runtime-interface.md).
