Remove the links to X.com from PHP.net View as Markdown

Proposal

The PHP project has not posted to its account on X (formerly known as Twitter) since 2023. Due to to the current nature of the site as a political project of a transphobic and white supremacist owner, there is no reason for the PHP project to have a presence there and the links to the now-dormant account should be removed from PHP.net.
