Thanks @kirtchev-adacore, for taking the time to adopt the Rust Project terminology.
I found a couple of places where we seem to be a bit at odds with what's written up in the Reference. Could you take a look?

This PR removes the term "indirection" and its derivatives from the FLS as the Rust Project does not use this term. The preferred alternative is "pointer", "pointer type", etc. Closes: #710

This looks like it took a great direction. Thanks @kirtchev-adacore!
There were a couple of procedural things I think need be taken care of, but otherwise we should merge:
- finalize the changelog updates
- maintaining the FLS ID whens shifting from one place in the FLS to another
