Authorize a glossary entry with `short` or `long`

glossarium@0.4.1 requires the short attribute. We could relax this by allowing short or long (at least one of them). I have a WIP patch and I will ready a PR once I have merged the changes.
What do you think of changing this behaviour @slashformotion ?

Why not just put the "long" value in the "short" attribut ?

IMO it's semantically more accurate to use long for long text, and short for acronyms, shorter words, e.g., I would find it weird that an entry for "climate change" is written as
short: "climate change"instead of
long: "climate change"More generally, entries that do not have corresponding short forms benefit from this.
