The Markdown Basics guide does not document how to create a hard line break, requested in quarto-dev/quarto-cli#8984.

This adds a Line Breaks section to docs/authoring/markdown-basics.qmd, after Text Formatting, explaining the difference between a soft break and a hard break and how to force a hard break by ending a line with a backslash.

The two-trailing-spaces form is intentionally left out, as it will not be supported in Quarto 2 (see quarto-dev/quarto-cli#8984).

Closes quarto-dev/quarto-cli#8984
