Fixes #4720.

The wording on line 1224 of doc/templates.rst ("removal of the first newline inherited from PHP") was misleading — Twig does not inherit anything from PHP, it deliberately implements the same behavior (just like Jinja does, which uses "like in PHP" in its own documentation).

The note already exists a few lines above (line 1210: "The first newline after a template tag is removed automatically (like in PHP)."), so the second mention can just point back to it instead of duplicating the (incorrect) attribution.

The previous wording ("inherited from PHP") was misleading: Twig does
not inherit anything from PHP, it deliberately implements the same
behavior, like Jinja does. The behavior was already explained earlier
in the same section, so just point back to it instead.
