glossary: Remove "leaf" and "hierarchy" from runtime namespace definition
Namespaces are not all hierarchical and processes aren't always in leaves. Also punt to config-linux.md for details about namespace creation, although currently that section doesn't talk much about how the runtime namespaces relate to new container namespaces [1]. Also mention resource access, because runtime namespaces play a role even if no new container namespaces are created. I've used resources that currently explicitly mention runtime namespaces as examples, although I think more resources (e.g. root.path and mounts[].source [2,3]) deserve wording about that as well and would be better examples if they'd already landed such wording. Examples of resources retrieved from this namespace include linux.namespaces[].path and the resctrl psuedo-filesystem used for `linux.intelRdt`, but Mrunal and Michael didn't want me to include the examples in the glossary entry (probably because they could go stale).
