Reference: 26-007r1, 26-125r1

In 26-125r1 the editor comments that the Note in 16.5.2 is "obvious".
The idea that a templated subprogram cannot instantiate itself is in
fact pretty clear, however the idea of a template subprogram
calling itself recursively is less obvious, and in fact doesn't seem
doable. Specifically, the name refers to a template, and so it is
not valid to reference it as though it were a procedure. The following
edit simply removes the note to not imply that a templated subprogram
can call itself.
