AFAICT, setting display-fill-column-indicator-character to nil means
that no fill indicator is displayed. This patch changes the
customization description to match the current behavior.

However, I like the behavior that's currently described in the
customization option:

"If possible, use U+2502 to indicate fill column, otherwise use |"

What do folks think about changing the behavior of
display-fill-column-indicator-character to match this description?

Thank you!!

Joseph
