svn commit: r1935194 - httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/manual/mod

Log:
mod_rewrite: Clarify Substitution description

The opening sentence of the Substitution section implied that Pattern
always matches when a rule fires, which is incorrect for negated rules.
Reword to be neutral about how the rule was triggered, and add a
cross-reference to "What is matched?" for context.

Resolves bz#70061
