Example file from Writer with highlight and background color applied

The Formatting toolbar in Writer has two icons: Highlight Color (uno:BackColor)
and Background Color (uno:BackGroundColor) to set character highlight color and
paragraph background color.
A user of ours started to customize their toolbar and accidentally put on
Background Color instead of Highlight Color. Then they were confused that the
icon sets the whole paragraphs background instead of the character highlight.

I think the naming of these icons is confusingly short, since many objects can
have Background Color, which ones background does this change and it’s not
really obvious how highlight color is ANY different of that.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Go to Formatting toolbar -> Visible buttons menu
    2. Enable Background Color item (Highlight Color is enabled by default)
    3. Select a word from a paragraph of text and use both buttons.

Actual results:
Ask someone who is does not have deep understanding of LO to explain why they
give different results.

Expected results:
More self explanatory labels: 
Character Highlight Color 
Paragraph Background Color 
(or something like these)
