Docs: tests: add naming / file naming conventions (#4982)

* Docs: tests: add naming / file naming conventions

Deprecates putting stuff into `__init__.py`.
This may be relevant for test discovery in the future.

* Docs: tests: fix class naming

* Docs: tests: update examples

* Punctuation is hard

* Revert part of one suggestion

The first set of () make the sentence make less sense.

* Docs: tests: clarify that __init__.py may be empty

* Make sentence nicer to read

I simply kept the original wording, but I agree that it reads somewhat odd

## Defining World Tests
In order to run tests from your world, you will need to create a `test` package within your world package. This can be
done by creating a `test` directory with a file named `__init__.py` inside it inside your world. By convention, a base
for your world tests can be created in this file that you can then import into other modules.
done by creating a `test` directory inside your world with an (empty) `__init__.py` inside it. By convention, a base
for your world tests can be created in `bases.py` or any file that does not start with `test`, that you can then import
into other modules. All tests should be defined in files named `test_*.py` (all lower case) and be member functions
(named `test_*`) of classes (named `Test*` or `*Test`) that inherit from `unittest.TestCase` or a test base.
Defining anything inside `test/__init__.py` is deprecated. Defining TestBase there was previously the norm; however,
it complicates test discovery because some worlds also put actual tests into `__init__.py`.
