Make clear that %ES; cannot be combined with other entities or text in a DFDL String Literal

DfdlStringLiteral ::= DfdlESEntity | (DfdlStringLiteralPart)+

Drop | DfdlESEntity from the production for DfdlCharClassName

While doing this, consider changing the font to a courier one to match the table for the expression language.
