(MAINT) Clarify line length for about topics (#11307)

* (MAINT) Clarify line length for about topics Prior to this change, the contributing guide indicated that the line length should be limited to 100 characters. It clarified that this guideline applies to conceptual articles and cmdlet reference, but didn't indicate that the line length in `about_` topics should be limited to 80 characters. This change clarifies the guidance. * Update reference/docs-conceptual/community/contributing/general-markdown.md --------- Co-authored-by: Sean Wheeler <[email protected]>
