    Made Clear Direct Formatting help match reality
    
    The Clear Direct Formatting help text incorrectly states that
    this function will remove character styles on Writer, which
    is not true. This is causing confusion as reflected in the
    following bugs:
    
    Bug 132702 - CLEAR DIRECT FORMATTING: Wrong information in LO Help
    - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132702
    
    Bug 132469 - Clear Direct Formatting char does not work
    - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132469
    
    as well as in the following question from Ask:
    
    Why does direct clear formatting not clear character style
    - https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/51776/
    
    This was an old behavior pre-2011 before I converted "Default
    Formatting" into "Clear Default Formatting". The help text was
    also updated by me back then, but I am observing that it was
    done incompletely, as it seems like I changed the topic title
    but did not update the text about the actual behavior:
    
    https://git.libreoffice.org/help/+/7d23506818f48f534622f83343a79083105672da%5E%21/
    
    Additionally, while analyzing this issue, I found that people
    get confused as to how to remove remaining formatting that is
    still applied as a character style. Sometimes they don't know
    that a character style is still applied. Thus, I am adding a
    note about it.
    
    The Design Team or other developers may later decide that it's
    better to proceed in a different way, but, for now, it's
    important to state the truth about how this function works.
