Fixes missing tag icons on the /categories page. Category descriptions were u…sing `{{htmlSafe}}` directly, which bypasses client-side decoration that injects hashtag icons. The fix is to use `DecoratedHtml` instead. While investigating, I noticed that most `DecoratedHtml` usages just need the standard decorators applied, yet each required boilerplate to do so. Since you'd just use `{{htmlSafe}}` if you didn't want decoration, I made `DecoratedHtml` apply decorators by default — it's called "Decorated" Html after all. Also standardized category descriptions on `dirSpan` for RTL support. Ref - t/171448 Ref - https://meta.discourse.org/t/392128
