manual: use consistent terminology
The ksh manual page is one of the few places that calls globbing "file name generation". The mksh and zsh manuals use the same term. But every other shell's manual calls it "pathname expansion": bash, dash, yash, FreeBSD sh. So does ksh's built-in documentation (alias --man, export --man, readonly --man, set --man, typeset --man). What's more, the authoritative ksh reference, Bolsky & Korn's 1995 "The New Kornshell" book, also calls it "pathname expansion", and so does the POSIX standard. Similarly, "arithmetic substitution" should be called "arithmetic expansion" per Bolsky & Korn as well as POSIX. This commit has several other miscellaneous documentation tweaks as well.
