Update documentation to state GitHub's soft break parsing behavoir #344

Description

@rickstaa

It seems that GitHub, for user convenience, automatically parses regular line breaks as hard line breaks in issues, discussion and pull request comments (see https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/16925?sort=new#discussioncomment-6507284). For repository markdown files, however, these regular line breaks are parsed as soft line breaks. Although I understand it is impossible to align this behaviour among markdown issues, discussion, and pull request comments. We should document them on https://github.github.com/gfm/ under the Soft line breaks section. Something like

Note
For user convenience in Github issues, pull requests and discussion comments, regular line breaks are automatically replaced by hard line breaks.

I'm happy to create a pull request but I couldn't find where and how this documentation is created.
