There's already a thing called magic words, and this is not it. These
things are called variables. There are many usages of this term in the
source. The term was introduced by Lee in 2002: originally
OutputPage::replaceVariables() contained only this functionality.
I introduced the term "magic word", meaning a localizable keyword.
Localizable keywords are an abstraction not limited to this use case.
"Magic variables" is a neologism, but I suppose it is permissible, since
it disambiguates. Whereas calling a variable a magic word conflates rather
than disambiguates.
Fix terminology in magicword.md and update the examples.
