This is a spelling and terminology PR, not a code PR. Rationale for some of the changes are as follows:

* "Subsignature" is mentioned in JLS 8.4.2 Method Signature.
* lower- and upper- bounded wrt `super` and `extends` are mentioned in JLS 4.10.5 Type Projections.
* For "super super class" I used a great-grandparent analogy as I'm unaware of any rules on repeated prefixes in English.
* "subkind" is used on two more occasions a few lines above that change
