[drupal-docs] Improved help language for description of container]

[Charlie Lowe]

The following advice comes with the notice that I have not seen 4.6 and 
don't know what the rest of the documentaiton looks like. But at a quick 
glance, I think the better conceptual approach is to build a description 
around the terms forums and sub-forums and explain how they work, how 
they can be nested. Then explain that because a main forum area is a 
useful way to organize many subforums, sometimes a site designer might 
want to block posting to that larger forum area, making it just a 
container for other forums. This positions the container as a special 
case of what is otherwise an easy explanation.
