This allowed me to review all the places in the Ref Guide where we talk about "standalone mode"/"legacy"/"leader-follower" and make it clear what exactly we're talking about. I've introduced sentences like "In a user-managed cluster or a single-node installation..." in several contexts where previously we only talked about SolrCloud or referred to it as "legacy" or "standalone", etc.

I did it this way so we could discuss if anyone has serious objections to thinking of it this way as a project. And if so and we agree on some other phrasing, it will be easy to change.As an opinionated side note - I really hesitate to initiate a conversation about this. Every time it comes up we throw words up against the wall like a brainstorming session but we've "brainstormed" this for years with no forward movement and users are none the better for it. We need to just pick something and move forward with it, and that might mean some people just go with someone else's suggestion and not try to put up their own ideas.

Note I did not tackle renaming SolrCloud - that terminology is everywhere in the code (classnames, etc.), so until we do a project-wide change I think the docs should keep using it.
