NEWS: Improve terminological discipline.

* Refer to man page "topics", not "titles", to avoid conceptual
  collisions with manual section titles (e.g., "General Commands
  Manual"), section or subsection headings (sometimes called titles),
  and *roff page headers and footers (called "titles" since CSTR #54).
* Also refer to special character "identifiers", not "glyph names".
