[docs] [issue17494] References to stack bottom are confusing

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl added the comment:

Sorry, I find your suggested termini more confusing.

* first/last: the first that was put onto the stack (i.e. bottom) or the first to be popped off (i.e. top)?

* root/terminal: that makes you think of trees, but a stack is not a tree.

top/bottom is the established wording for referring to a stack's positions, and its internal representation as a list is secondary.
