Refs: #61840 (comment)

Clarifies in How to backport a pull request to a release line > Manual process document section, that the Backport-PR-URL is added automatically. Currently the document says:

The Backport-PR-URL metadata does need to be added to the commit, but this will be done later.

which has been incorrectly interpreted as meaning that the submitter needs to add it.

which exceeds the imposed 72 character line length

nodejs/core-validate-commit#142 is suggested to fix the linting error. I'll probably need to push a new commit to get linting to re-run based on updated tooling.
