The "How Do I Use This" section of index.rst and "Next Steps" section of
start.rst were just copies of the table of contents, and therefore
weren't really useful either when looking a sphinx generated output
(which already had the TOC visible) or when reading the source (where
it's just a list of files that ls could give you).
Instead, provide a small number of concrete next steps, and a bit more
description about what the pages contain.
This also removes the broken reference to 'tips.rst', which was
previously removed.

The contents of 'tips.rst' was mostly included in 'usage.rst' way back in
commit 9535743906 ("Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests"),
but the tips page remained behind as well.
The parent patches in this series fill in the gaps, so now 'tips.rst' is
redundant.
Therefore, delete 'tips.rst'.
While I regret breaking any links to 'tips' which might exist
externally, it's confusing to have two subtly different versions of the
same content around.

Delete "kunit-tool.rst" to remove repeated info from KUnit docs.
"What is kunit_tool?" was integrated into index.rst, the remaining
sections were moved into run_wrapper.rst and renamed as follows:
"What is a .kunitconfig?" -> "Creating a ``.kunitconfig`` file"
"Getting Started with kunit_tool" -> "Running tests with kunit_tool"
"Configuring, Building, and Running Tests" ->
"Configuring, building, and running tests"

This is long overdue.
There are several things that aren't nailed down (in-tree
.kunitconfig's), or partially broken (GCOV on UML), but having them
documented, warts and all, is better than having nothing.
This covers a bunch of the more recent features
* kunit_filter_glob
* kunit.py run --kunitconfig
* slightly more detail on building tests as modules
* CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFS
By my count, the only headline features now not mentioned are the KASAN
integration and KernelCI json output support (kunit.py run --json).
And then it also discusses how to get code coverage reports under UML
and non-UML since this is a question people have repeatedly asked.
Non-UML coverage collection is no different from normal, but we should
probably explicitly call this out.
As for UML, I was able to get it working again with two small hacks.*
E.g. with CONFIG_KUNIT=y && CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y
Overall coverage rate:
lines......: 15.1% (18294 of 120776 lines)
functions..: 16.8% (1860 of 11050 functions)
Note: this doesn't document --alltests since this is not stable yet.
Hopefully being run more frequently as part of KernelCI will help...
*Using gcc/gcov-6 and not using uml_abort() in os_dump_core().
I've documented these hacks in "Notes" but left TODOs for
brendanhiggins@google.com who tracked down the runtime issue in GCC.
To be clear: these are not issues specific to KUnit, but rather to UML.

./usage.rst contains fairly long examples and explanations of things
like how to fake a class and how to use parameterized tests (and how you
could do table-driven tests yourself).
It's not exactly necessary information, so we add a new page with more
digestible tips like "use kunit_kzalloc() instead of kzalloc() so you
don't have to worry about calling kfree() yourself" and the like.
Change start.rst to point users to this new page first and let them know
that usage.rst is more of optional further reading.

As discussed in [1], KUnit tests have hitherto not had a particularly
consistent naming scheme. This adds documentation outlining how tests
and test suites should be named, including how those names should be
used in Kconfig entries and filenames.
