Description

Currently, the Consensus [Glossary](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/ouroboros-consensus/blob/main/docs/website/contents/for-developers/Glossary.md) uses the `; TERM` notation in every definition. This allows to search for `TERM` more easily with `CTRL-F` in a browser.

The Genesis docs (see the [PR](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/ouroboros-consensus/pull/1174), soon to be merged) use the `{ TERM }` notation, which seems like a better fit for longer term names.

If time permits, we should switch the glossary from the `;` notation to the new `{}` notation.

Research direction

Open docs/website/contents/for-developers/Glossary.md and compare its definition notation with the `{ TERM }` style used by the Genesis documentation referenced in PR #1174. Replace the existing `; TERM` notation consistently and verify that every glossary definition uses the new form.
