spec: use Unicode terminology consistently

- refer to character "categories" rather than "classes" per the
  definitions in the Unicode standard
- use "uppercase", "lowercase" (one word) instead of "upper case"
  or "upper-case", matching the spelling in the Unicode standard
- clarify that that the blank character "_" is considered a lowercase
  letter for Go's purposes (export of identifiers)

Fixes #44715.
