Raw diff: https://github.com/php/doc-en/commit/de78d65ef7785a167268b3cb5d5268b13bb9f358.diff

Remove 11 unused entities still referenced by translations (#5628)

Record them as tombstones in entities/entities-remove.ent (translate="remove")
so revcheck gives translations a heads up, instead of a plain deletion.

Changed paths:
  M  entities/entities.remove.ent
  M  language-snippets.ent
