charStyleBackground.odt: background colour not seen IN MS WORD when exported to
DOCX etc.

In this example, the character style charBackground defines an orange
background. On export to MS formats, this background colour is kind-of lost.
ONLY MISSING IN WORD. LO (incorrectly it appears) accepts the style's highlight
specification and applies it - however, it is yellow instead of orange.

Although MS Word does not produce any errors, it silently ignores any
w:highlight settings in Character styles. So LO character style highlighting
should always save as "shading" instead of "highlighting".

In LO 5.0, a user setting was added to select whether character background
should be saved as highlight or shading. It defaulted to highlighting -
creating the bug reported here.

Starting in LO 7, the default is changed to shading, so most people won't
encounter this problem any more. However, the possibility still exists for a
user's settings to save as highlight, so it is still worthwhile to fix.
