docs: mention two trailing spaces for hard line breaks - #2351

The Line Breaks section only showed the trailing backslash because Quarto 2 was not expected to support the two-space form. Quarto 2 kept it, so document it too. The backslash stays the recommended form: it is visible, and editors that strip trailing whitespace won't remove it. Refs quarto-dev/quarto-cli#8984

Follow-up to #2092, which documented hard line breaks with a trailing backslash only. The two-trailing-spaces form was left out because Quarto 2 was not expected to support it, but Quarto 2 kept it (see this comment).
The Line Breaks section now mentions two or more trailing spaces as well. The backslash stays the main example: it is visible, and editors that strip trailing whitespace won't remove it.
