Remove doc about highlighting code in other languages rust-lang#40301

This doesn't appear to be true any longer, so removing it to avoid confusion. See rust-lang#40301

Thoughts:
- may be a good idea to remove "Let's discuss the details of these code blocks.", as there's not much being discussed at this point;
- does `text` still work?

-If you want something that's not Rust code, you can add an annotation:

-```rust

-# fn foo() {}
