docs: replace remaining ``FOO`` by :term:`FOO`

A few occurences appeared between the time the original patch was sent
and it was applied, this fixes it.

Also, the original patch didn't take into account lowercase terms, this
is now fixed, see module_autoload for example.

Finally, as is often the case with regexp, there was a typo in it that
didn't make it match as much as it should have.

The script that is used to do the replacement of ``FOO`` by :term:`FOO`
is the following Python code:

import re
from pathlib import Path
from runpy import run_module
import contextlib
import io
import sys

re_term = re.compile(r'variables.html#term-([a-zA-Z_0-9]*)')
terms = []
new_terms = set()

with contextlib.redirect_stdout(io.StringIO()) as f:
    run_module('sphinx.ext.intersphinx', run_name='__main__')

objects = f.getvalue()

match = re_term.search(objects)
while match:
    if match.group(1):
        terms.append(match.group(1))
    match = re_term.search(objects, match.end())

for rst in Path('.').rglob('*.rst'):
    with open(rst, 'r') as f:
        content = "".join(f.readlines())
    for term in terms:
        content = re.sub(r'``({})``(?!.*\s+[~=-]{{{:d},}})'.format(term, len(term)), r':term:`\1`', content)

    with open(rst, 'w') as f:
        f.write(content)

This script takes one argument as input: an objects.inv. Bitbake's can
be gotten from https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/objects.inv. The
objetcs.inv from the current git repo can be gotten from
documentation/_build/html/objetcs.inv after running `make html`.

Note that this excludes from replacement terms that appear in section
titles as it requires refs to be changed too. This can be automated too
if need be but right now it looks a bit confusing to have an anchor link
(for sections) also have a term/reference link in it. I am not sure this
is desired today.

This is the result of two runs of the aforementioned script, once with
Bitbake objects.inv and once with this repo's.

Fixes: ba49d9babfcb "docs: replace ``FOO`` by :term:`FOO` where possible"
