We have soooo many options.  Therefore it's important to pick a good
name.

For the terminal window we have options starting with "term".  But we
also have:

'term'                      name of the terminal
'termbidi'        'tbidi'   terminal takes care of bi-directionality
'termencoding'    'tenc'    character encoding used by the terminal
'termguicolors'   'tgc'     use GUI colors for the terminal

These are for the terminal Vim is running in.  And I now realize the
last added option was inconsistent:

'terminalscroll'  'tlsl'    max number of scrollback lines in a terminal window
'termkey'         'tk'      key that precedes a Vim command in a terminal
'termsize'        'tms'     size of a terminal window

Thinking about minimum confusion, when we are talking about options for
the terminal window, we should make them start with "termwin".  May be a
bit obscure if you first read it, but we'll get used to it:

'termwinscroll'  'twsl'    max number of scrollback lines in a terminal window
'termwinkey'     'twk'     key that precedes a Vim command in a terminal
'termwinsize'    'tws'     size of a terminal window

It does make the short names easier.

The main drawback right now is that users may already be using the older
names, since they have been around for a few months.  Still, if we don't
change it now, we will be stuck with it "forever".  Thus I tend to make
this change, unless someone has a reason we should not.
