josh11b 9600030a05 Reduce ambiguity in terminology (#3162 )

Change terminology away from terms that are ambiguous:

- Reserve "generic type" for types with (compile-time) parameters, like
`Vector` in `Vector(T:! type)`. Don't use that term to refer to `T`, as
it would with
[#2360](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/proposals/p2360.md#terminology).
- Use the term "compile-time" instead of "constant" to mean "template or
symbolic." Expand the term "constant" to include values, such as from
`let` bindings.
