[m-rev.] for review: <added definition to glossary.html>

[Nicholas David WATMOUGH]

mercury/compiler/notes/glossary.html:
	- Added definition for RTTI to the glossary. 
	- Reordered the terms in the glossary so that they are in 
	  alphabetical order.


The diff below is quite extensive, as the reordering of the list required
moving chunks of HTML code around, but the only actual change to the
content was in the new definition added.
