“Triptych” term is not widely understood; add "Featured top" and "Featured bottom"

Problem/Motivation

Triptych is not widely understood. Bartik uses this term to name some of it's regions. This causes a usability issue.

Proposed resolution

Replace all instances of "Triptych" with "Featured Bottom" and since bottom goes with top rename "Featured" to "Featured Top".

Look at bartik.info.yml to see the regions.

triptych_first: 'Triptych first'
  triptych_middle: 'Triptych middle'
  triptych_last: 'Triptych last'

The name "Featured Bottom" was chosen for reasons described in #92.

In addition to that overall change, the patch here also changes the designation of the component regions within the (former) Triptych area from first/middle/last to first/second/third (in other words, "Triptych middle" becomes "Featured bottom second" and "Triptych last" becomes "Featured bottom third". The argument in favor of this change is that it introduces consistency with other existing regions (for example, "Footer first/second/third/fourth column"). The argument against it is that it makes the region names less meaningful, because with a 3 column region like this one it is possible to use "first/middle/last" to give a better verbal hint of how the regions actually appear on the page. This change has not been reviewed by the usability team.
