When rendering a template from a plugin controller using the syntax
`$this->render('PluginName.Controller/custom_file')`, the framework was
generating an incorrect path with a duplicated controller directory.
Before fix: `templates/Controller/Controller/custom_file.php`
After fix: `templates/Controller/custom_file.php`
This restores the conditional check from CakePHP 5.2 that prevented the
unwanted path concatenation when working with plugin templates where
templatePath equals name.
Fixes #19180
