6613f367c4 CH12: Remove "other ways to soft fork" 
This short subsection described segwit's use of always-true
scriptPubKeys as special.  It didn't mention the similar mechanism used
for BIP16 P2SH.  It also doesn't mention block-focused changes like
BIP32 and BIP34, or non-script changes like BIP66, BIP68, and BIP113.
I think it should either be greatly expanded or removed, and removing is
easier right now.  :-)

"Smore" sounds like "Schnorr", which could be confusing.  Also, we
have upgraded signatures now without a soft fork, so the example is
confusing.  Although we could add another coin with a soft fork (sort
of), it seems a lot less likely to me, so I think it's a better cadidate
for this section.

2735c25bfa CH12: s/reconverge/(converge|reorganize)/ 
- When appropriate, use the current preferred technical term
  "reorganize" to describe what a node does when the block at the tip of
  the chain is removed.

- Otherwise, just use "converge".

2866ffc9fb CH12: Drop mention of orphan blocks 
- Orphan blocks are no longer a thing in Bitcoin Core since
  headers-first download was implemented (version 0.10).  Your peers
  know what blocks you have; if they send you any block that doesn't
  connect to one of those blocks, you just drop the connection to them.

2f0d7d8c3a Revert CC-BY-SA material added since the second edition 
The commit ab5ae32bae is the last commit

This revert may itself be reverted for versions of the book published
