Hey awesome KDE translators!  I hope you all are having a wonderful
holiday.  :-)

Kate users have been experiencing difficulty with clearing the
highlighting on "Find" matches, and this has caused quite the stir on
Reddit and the Kate blog [1].  Because of this, I'd like to add a
short instruction on how to clear it to the Kate documentation for
4.8.

This would just be an added <para> to part.docbook (kate_part.po) with
the following contents:
"Matches are highlighted even when you close the search bar.  To clear
this highlighting, press the &Esc; key."

My proposed patch is attached.

Thanks,
T.C.
