Confusing terminology in SafeHandle example code #12959

Description

Describe the issue or suggestion

As this is a part of .NET that is very basic, for new programmers to understand. The wording:

this SafeHandle instance "owns" the handle

seems clumsy. It would be more clear if it instead doesn't conflate instantiation with implementation. Something like:

informing the base class that the instance of this SafeHandle implementation "owns" the handle
