The HTML 5 spec says that it's OK to use self-closing tags for void
elements
https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/#void
I'd like to change linebreaksbr to use the self-closing version of `br`
i.e. `<br/>` so it can be used safely in more environments.
As an example, I wanted to use it in a template generating RML (see
https://www.reportlab.com/software/rml-reference/).
This will not break any existing users but will expand the templatetag's
reach
