Use muted color for help texts on appearance admin page
What does this MR do and why?
Across GitLab, help texts for input fields have the muted color (#5e5e5e, dark mode: #bfbfbf). However, help texts on the Appearance page in the Admin area have a different color that is too light (#bfbfbf, dark mode: #525252) and therefore hardly legible (1.84 contrast ratio). It also uses cursive text, which is inconsistent.
Because of that, this MR replaces that color with the standard muted color for the Appearance page.
