offapi: document queryLogicalAdvancements() for XTextLayout.
Based on implementation, explain the definition of logical advancements for RTL and LTR case and remove incorrect part. Logical advancements are distances to the edge instead of widths of characters, so summing all do not yield the total.

This method returns a sequence of advancements, one for each
character in the input string (<em>not</em> for every
glyph. There might be multiple glyphs per input character, or
- multiple input characters per glyph). Adding up all
- advancements yields the total advancement of this layout. To
- manipulate the layout of a string on the level of characters,
- this method can be used to query for the layout's default
+ multiple input characters per glyph).
+
+ An advancement value is the distance of the glyph to the beginning
+ edge, which is left for LTR text and is right for RTL text. The
+ maximum of the advancements can be deemed as the width of the whole
+ text layout.

+ This method can be used to query for the layout's default
advancements, which can subsequently be changed and applied to
the layout via
XTextLayout::applyLogicalAdvancements().<p>
