[ci skip] Don’t explicitly mention EventMachine
Since #23152 eliminated the EventMachine dependency, we don’t need to explicitly mention EventMachine. Nevertheless, I'm not 100% sure about saying "the websocket-driver loop" driver… any suggestions, @matthewd or @pixeltrix ? :sweat_smile: [ci skip]

-Action Cable is powered by a combination of EventMachine and threads. The
