Clarifies the log compaction docs by distinguishing between the log cleaner being enabled and compaction being applied only to topics whose cleanup policy includes `compact`. It also calls out the topic-level `cleanup.policy=compact` override separately from the broker-level `log.cleanup.policy=compact` default.
