Improving Mindat.orgGlossary : cubo-octahedron page needs to be adapted or even deleted

The photo shows a cubododecahedron, NOT a cuboctahedron.
=> so best to remove the photo
And there is a more detailed page in the glossary:
https://www.mindat.org/glossary/cuboctahedron
https://www.mindat.org/glossary/cuboctahedron
=> so cubo-octahedron should just be treated as a older, lesser used and not recommended synonym
==> in other words, it should not have it's own glossary page anymore

Done. Cubo-octahedron now redirects to cuboctahedron. I also corrected the misstatement that the cuboctahedron is a combination of cube and dodecahedron forms (!) and reworded a couple of spots.
