Subject: remove incorrect doc para about exit from BEGIN
X-Git-Tag: v5.27.7~135

remove incorrect doc para about exit from BEGIN

I misinterpreted the behaviour of exit from BEGIN when writing that
paragraph.  exit from BEGIN actually does cause perl_parse() to return
normally, but perl_run() wouldn't subsequently do anything.
