[1.5.x] Clarified strip_tags documentation

The fact that strip_tags cannot guarantee to really strip all
non-safe HTML content was not clear enough. Also see:
https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2014/mar/22/strip-tags-advisory/

Partial backport (doc-only) of 6ca6c36f82 from master.

.. admonition:: No safety guarantee
Note that ``striptags`` doesn't give any guarantee about its output being
entirely HTML safe, particularly with non valid HTML input. So **NEVER**
apply the ``safe`` filter to a ``striptags`` output.
If you are looking for something more robust, you can use the ``bleach``
Python library, notably its `clean`_ method.

Tries to remove anything that looks like an HTML tag from the string, that
is anything contained within ``<>``.
Absolutely NO guaranty is provided about the resulting string being entirely
HTML safe. So NEVER mark safe the result of a ``strip_tag`` call without
escaping it first, for example with :func:`~django.utils.html.escape`.
For example::
strip_tags(value)
If ``value`` is ``"<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"`` the
return value will be ``"Joel is a slug"``.
If ``value`` is ``"<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"``
