Lauryn Menard c7a4d0f470 help: Remove "general chat" italic formatting for title/sidebar.
Once the help center has transitioned to astro, we will look at
adding back the formatting to the title and sidebar for these
two articles: "General chat topic" and "General chat channels".

“General chat” channels

Zulip's topics help you keep conversations organized, but you may not need topics in some channels (e.g., a social channel, or one with a narrow purpose).

If you have permission to administer a channel, you can configure it to only have the special “general chat” topic. The name of this topic is shown in italics, and is translated into your language.

Users won't need to enter a topic when sending a message to a “general chat” channel.

Configure a channel to have only the “general chat” topic
