d5eea66615 introduce build tasks 
while it appears a bit much for the overview, this way we set the stage
for going directly into data types when describing the store, instead of
first having to say what build tasks are and how they relate to build
plans.

7c3bca1372 revert to build plans in top-level overview 
do not introduce build tasks yet, that is the next level of detail.

2303f84a68 revert to "build plan" in overview diagram 
this displays correct composition again. build inputs and build results
are not part of build plans in terms of data objects.

also this is a much less complicated setup. this will be the first
impression of architecture, and we want to get it right.

0e63b9bf88 add link from overview to store section 
the overview should only link to the three main concepts presented. the
store is now fairly fleshed out. others can follow later.

2a8532fb61 build rule -> build task 
closer to "build systems a la carte", satisfies all other complaints

902638c519 build step -> build rule 
"step" sounds atomic, while "rule" hints at internal structure, which in
our case consists of mapping inputs to outputs using build instructions.

610ddf44aa reword introduction to rosetta stone, add links 
attempt to explain used and documented terminology, as well as how
the declarative programming paradigm relates to building software.

in the future one could highlight encouraged terms to shape future
material into higher consistency.
