Description
**This is a Feature Request**
The use of init container, non-init container, regular init container and sidecar container is fairly confusing in this doc https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/main/content/en/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/sidecar-containers.md#resource-sharing-within-containers . For example in the resource-sharing-within-containers section it is not clean if (non-init containers) excludes init containers with `restartPolicy` set to `Always` or only excludes `regular init containers` as defined earlier in the doc.
**What would you like to be added**
This PR attempts to make that clarification https://github.com/kubernetes/website/pull/52509
**Why is this needed**
The terminology for sidecar containers is fairly confusing. In the pointed out section, the problem is especially acute.
