Styles: consistently use the word 'style' instead of 'layout'

Title:
Styles: consistently use the word 'style' instead of 'layout'

Area:
styles, site, faqs

Summary:
Styles are sometimes referred to as layouts - probable as an LJ legacy thing - and sometimes referred as styles (see Customize, see FAQ #10,...) Terminology should be consistent.

Description:
Keep the word 'layout' for disposition, organization i.e. the layout of a style rather than to refer to the style/design itself, the way it's done in FAQ #138 I think.

consistency would really help us confused people

[aedifica]

Yes! I know practically nothing about styles, and getting confused what's a style and what's a layout (and whether they're the same thing) doesn't help.
