this PR updates the docs to reflect more up to date info on the Polkadot/Cosmos comparison section. most of the edits pertain to correcting explanations on the topology of the Cosmos ecosystem and other edits to terminology.

thank you. its ready for review @DrW3RK


Cosmos can also interact with external chains by using "peg zones", which are similar to bridged
parachains.
IBC leverages light clients that can keep track of the consensus of a counterparty chain. For example, when chains A and B want to talk to one another, chain A uses its light client of B to verify messages sent from chain B, and vice versa. IBC is [currently live](https://app.trustless.zone/?from=POLKADOT&to=OSMOSIS) on Polkadot and Kusama. Work is ongoing to implement IBC to Ethereum and it's layer 2s.
