README: Improve the words describing the ABI
Link to libstdc++'s definition of a library ABI, as this is relevant for
the topic at hand despite being a C++-based reference. Also, use
"loosely" to indicate we're not aiming to control all the components
that make up the library ABI, just a significant one (changes to
structures are implicitly captured by the ABI category of the functions
that manipulate them).

## Working with `libpldm`
-The ABIs (symbols, generally functions) exposed by the library are separated
-into three categories:
+Components of the [library ABI][^1] (loosely, functions) are separated into
