Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Show Description Hint field without requiring category
 descriptions

The Description Hint menu item was only shown when areCommentsRequired
was true. Move it into the Category Rules section so it displays
whenever rules are enabled, independent of the require description
setting.

Fixes #80045

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Move Description Hint into Category Rules section

The Description Hint menu item was gated by areCommentsRequired and
placed after Payroll Code. Move it into the Category Rules section
(gated by areRulesEnabled) after Require Fields, so it displays
whenever rules are enabled regardless of whether descriptions are
required.

Fixes #80045
