pod and comments: Note escape vs quote
Fixes #15221
The documentation and comments were misleading about conflating quoting
a metacharacter and escaping it. Since \Q stands for quote, we have to
continue to use that terminology. This commit clarifies that the two
terms are often equivalent.
This also adds detail about quotemeta and \Q.

perlre: Simplify some text
By adding a word to a =heading, a sentence can be removed, and is
clearer.
But since some pod somewhere may link to that heading, a section at the
end is added with the old name, and pointing to the new one.
Dan Book searched and found no instances in CPAN of the old heading
being linked to, but this guarantees that nothing breaks.
