bug#25168: 25.1; variable-pitch face misbehaves

[Eli Barzilay]

It would be nice to clarify that in the `text-scale-adjust` docstring.
To be more specific, it currently repeats:

    the default face height

many times, and this can be interpreted as "the default (face height)"
or "the (default face) height".  Worse, for people who don't know that
there's an actual face called default, "Adjust the height of the default
face" is just as confusing.
