Summary

Fixes the incorrect mention of threading with respect to asynchronous operations in the F# async expressions documentation.

Problem

The documentation at docs/fsharp/language-reference/async-expressions.md contained a misleading statement that suggested async computations are "often started on a background thread while execution continues on the current thread." This statement was incorrect and contradicted the accurate information provided elsewhere in the F# documentation.

As correctly explained in docs/fsharp/tutorials/async.md:

• There is no affinity between an asynchronous computation and a thread, unless explicitly started on the current thread
• Asynchronous programming in F# is not an abstraction for multi-threading
• A computation may actually run on its caller's thread, depending on the nature of the work

Changes

Removed the misleading sentence from the Remarks section of async-expressions.md. The documentation now correctly states that async computations run "without blocking the current computation thread" without making false claims about automatic background thread creation.

The subsequent paragraph already provides accurate information about thread choices being dependent on the triggering function used (e.g., Async.StartImmediate for current thread vs. other options for background threads).

Impact

This change aligns the language reference documentation with the tutorial documentation and accurately represents how F# async works, preventing developers from having incorrect assumptions about thread behavior in asynchronous operations.
