don't use "is called" to introduce a definition #3515

Description

@zygoloid

We have decided to use "call" to mean a function call expression (see #3079). So we should stop using it to introduce definitions.

We should use a different phrasing to avoid this. For example, instead of:

For every iterator type X, there is a corresponding signed integer-like type called the difference type of the iterator.

Consider:

For every iterator type X, there is a corresponding signed integer-like type known as the difference type of the iterator.

Or:

The difference type of an iterator type X is a corresponding signed integer-like type, determined as specified in [incrementable.traits].
