Add important terms of APIs to glossary

[sippsack]

Here are some ideas, let's discuss them and add more relevant terms.

[ ] API
[ ] API economy
[ ] REST
[ ] GraphQL
[ ] API First
[ ] Postel’s Law
[ ] Forward Compatibility
[ ] Backward Compatibility
[ ] OpenAPI
[ ] gRPC
[ ] IDL
[ ] Contract Testing
[ ] API Gateway
[ ] Postel's Law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj2JK3NRNS8
[ ] Goodhart's Law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKVZ3Zxi1no
[ ] Hyrum's Law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wdgjw6IGDM
[ ] ...

This is an ongoing task.

Just saying: It seems that the goal of the glossary is mostly to be a foundation glossary. isaqb-org/glossary#212 (comment) I am not sure if/how we should add terms to the glossary that are not mentioned in foundation. Should we start our own? For now we could just add a few more terms to the "Terms and Principles" of each chapter, and then we have a list we can use if we're supposed to add those to someplace else (like the iSAQB glossary).

[ ] AsyncAPI
[ ] HTTP
[ ] HTTP Caching

I wasn't aware that the glossary is mostly for foundation terms. So we can just wait and postpone this issue.

The only possible action for us seems to be to try to adopt glossary terms as they are used and defined in the foundation glossary.
