Some doc improvements motivated by some recent user misunderstandings.

Note:

  • new term terminal branch to help explain how workflows can complete without running the entire graph, and to warn about associated pitfalls
  • conceded that incomplete task is a useful term after all, if we just explain that it usually means final status incomplete task (sorry @oliver-sanders )

Requirements check-list

  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md and added my name as a Code Contributor.
