usage.rst had most of the content of the tips.rst page copied over. But it's missing https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.0/dev-tools/kunit/tips.html#customizing-error-messages Copy it over so we can retire tips.rst w/o losing content. And in that process, it also gained a duplicate section about how KUNIT_ASSERT_*() exit the test case early. Remove that.
