Improve GOOPS `Quick Start' doc

Browse source 
* doc/ref/goops.texi (Quick Start): Remove words that only reiterate
  "quick start".

* doc/ref/goops.texi (Methods, User-defined classes, Asking for the
  class of an object): Say "class" instead of "type".  They
  are called classes elsewhere, and in an object-oriented system, people
  expect classes!
