bug#37334: 26.3; doc string of `backward-word'

This paragraph does not belong in the doc string of `backward-word':

 The word boundaries are normally determined by the buffer's
 syntax table and character script (according to
 'char-script-table'), but 'find-word-boundary-function-table',
 such as set up by 'subword-mode', can change that.  If a Lisp
 program needs to move by words determined strictly by the syntax
 table, it should use 'backward-word-strictly' instead.  See Info
 node '(elisp) Word Motion' for details.

At most, it should just say "See Info node '(elisp) Word Motion' for
information about word syntax and word boundaries" - or just "See Info
node '(elisp) Word Motion'".
