change generated playbooks_keywords.rst to use an rst 'glossary' (#28843)

* Use a rst glossary for playbooks_keywords docs
* Add a 'Task' and 'Tasks' to glossary.
* Update keywords desciptions,
* use :term: rst ref, some quoting
* Make it more obvious that 'retries' and 'until' need to be used in combination.
