Redactor adds trailing slash to br elements (ie. <br />)

[dgsiegel]

Description

When forcing manual line breaks in redactor fields, e.g.

foo
bar
baz

redactor will put a <br /> element in between them, e.g.

<p>foo<br />bar<br />baz</p>

I'd like to get rid of the trailing slash, as that's not recommended in HTML5.

Additional info

• Craft version: 3.7.55.2
• PHP version: 8.1.10
• Database driver & version: MySQL 10.5.16

Same problem with Craft 4.2.5.1 and Redactor 3.0.2.

I imagine this is for backwards compatibility with XHTML. The plugin may be agnostic toward the doc type.
