Please review this PR which updates an incorrect code example in _java/text/ChoiceFormat_.
ChoiceFormat (and MessageFormat) provide an example of how to produce a pattern that supports singular and plural forms. The ChoiceFormat example is incorrect, as recursive MessageFormats produced by a ChoiceFormat subformat only recognize subformats defined through the MessageFormat pattern syntax, not through the subformats contained within the top level MessageFormat.
In the original example,
`Format[] testFormats = {fileform, null, NumberFormat.getInstance()};` could have been replaced with
`Format[] testFormats = {fileform, null, new ChoiceFormat("0#BROKEN")};` and the original output would have been the same.
This PR replaces the example with the one used in MessageFormat, which is correct.
This PR also includes a drive-by fix to remove leftover `<blockquote>`s from a previous `@snippet` conversion.
