spec: remove superfluous terms "delimiter" and "special tokens"

The (original) section on "Operators and Delimiters" introduced
superfluous terminology ("delimiter", "special token") which
didn't matter and was used inconsistently.

Removed any mention of "delimiter" or "special token" and now
simply group the special character tokens into "operators"
(clearly defined via links), and "punctuation" (everything else).

Fixes #19450.
