This is a follow-up to gh-2099, making terminology usage between "wheel", "built distribution" and "binary distribution" consistent throughout the guide.
I left one existing reST label (
_python-binary-distributions:), because it was already being referred to within the guide, and may also be linked to from elsewhere - didn't seem worth changing.AI tool usage declaration: used Codex with Sol 6.1 for auditing all content for this issue, then manually checked and applied recommendations.
