Subject: [PATCH] spec: reword claim about the grammar being regular

Since the word "regular" has a precise meaning in the context of
formal languages, the Introduction sentence claiming that Go's grammar
is "compact and regular" may mislead readers.

Reword it using Rob's suggestion.

Fixes #36037
